Cocobolo Shaving Brush

That’s a great gift idea, and very nicely done! Where do you get the badger brush knot?

Thanks. I got the knot at http://www.thegoldennib.com/.

very nice.. i wonder how many woodworkers here know what that was used for? your dad raised you right.

That’s nice. Makes me want to lather up and strop up a straight edge.

Beautiful Brush and beautiful pictures!

Don’t know about the leather strap thing, rikkor, had enough of that when I was a kid!

Fantastic. I just started shaving with a double-edged safety razor a few months ago, and I am jealous of that brush as my crappy store-bought one actually just fell apart at the handle due, it seems, to the crappy glue being near hot water. That there is quite a brush you made.

Very nice. Looks like you could start making some to sell.

Very cool project. I’m sure your father will love it. Thanks for sharing, Bill.
