Shaving Brush Brushes

Tom, I refer you to the thread entitled "Badger Shaving Brush Knots".

The originator of that thread (Pete of "Pete & Kathy"), ultimately said he'd found a second supplier in China ... and then fell off the face of the earth, ignoring two requests for the name of the supplier.

So, for the moment, blankity-blanks it is.

Yer just supposted to stick the hair against yer face Bill -heh heh heh! However, as one who is allergic to just about everything, including very much, cocobolo and cedar and goodness knows what else, I know what you mean!

ya know, after sporting (so to speak) a beard for a few decades, I can say that the only thing I miss about shaving is the part with the tub of shaving soap, and the badger hair brush - but I don't miss it enough to resume the ritual, I just keep the tub and brush (that were my father's) in the cabinet for nostalgia's sake. that said, an alergic reaction can be unpleasant and expensive - after making a bowl using sheoak, it took me several months and a bunch of hundereds of $$ of doctor and medicine bills to get kinda back to normal - so for shaving brush handles, stick to the well understood woods - eschew those related to poison oak or rosewood, and the super aromatics

Sorry, Giovanni. I 'knew' I had seen something else somewhere else ... but I couldn't find it. Yer right, of course.

Apparently a bunch of the folks who posted to your web site are whiners straggling in from other boards. I wish you every success. And I wish them a perpetual runny nose.

Lousy Latin ... but you'll figure it out anyways. Bill

Thank you, Bill! I like your Latin motto! Giovanni
