Idk if you’re interested, you can get new badger knots and put that brush back to work. I kinda like the idea of bringing old used up stuff back to life. Old straights and brushes. This will be part of my retired life, god willing.Man that is so cool! I have one piece of ivory in the from of an OLD Simpson shave brush and treasure it! 1911 grip panels? Legend status! Possibility of a pic so I can live vicariously?
