So, I have recently been given my wife’s grandpa’s first shaving brush he ever purchased. He bought it in Portugal more than 50 years ago. I would love to restore it and wanted to reach out to the pros for any helpful tips! I have read through the forums and watched restoration videos for the knot removal. I also have a friend who is an engineer (has done lots of woodworking, but no brushes) and has lots of the right tools for the job who said he would be happy to help.
One question I have is, what is the best sealant or finish for the painted handle?
Also, is there a big risk in trying to widen the hole for a 24mm knot? Or should I just try to clean it up and keep it at 22mm?
Thanks in advance!
