I like the look of the original and the 66 best.

So One Vote for The Rt 66. Dave likes the 86. Thanks for the feed back. GAW9576

I would lean toward the original. Both of them are veddy nice though.

They all do look very cool. I really like the brass and copper together also but I think the proportions of the original and 66 look better to me.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions.
My Oumo knots order from AliExpress arrived today. 
I think I did all the possible combinations for these knots and handles without putting the synthetic in the horn handle. Although it actually looks good in the horn I just can't bring myself to put a synthetic knot in the horn. It just seems wrong. The 3 knots are 24mm and are a boar, a horse and a synthetic. 
The last picture is of a 30mm Boar in the other horn and wood handle. None of them are glued in yet. I look forward to getting them glued up and trying them out once I can decide which belongs where. 

So what do you guys think.

And here is a bonus close up of the tips of the Boar which look to already be splitting.

I lean towards A or B but obviously it's your preference that matters

RE: Brush makers show thread. Razor handles also welcome. - GAW9576 - 01-20-2022

I am leaning towards 2 of the choices but want to see what some opinions are without knowing which they are.

A side note, the Ruger handle is the end of a scope that my son broke. When life hands you lemons..... Smile

Most definitely "D". The synthetic with the white top looks like a dust brush that you would use for a camera or a scope. The horse hair goes well with horn. I mean horses - cowboys - cows/bulls. Then the boars hair is stiff and ruff and the brass/copper pipe is hard and very industrial. I also like that there is a hint or just a little solder sticking out of the joint of the two pieces. Any of the three I would be proud to own.

Damn you. Now I'm going to start looking at what I can turn into shaving brushes.
