        Awhile back @9nein9 made me a couple of brush handles. I put a flat top badger in one of them and have been waiting to finish the last one. I finally got that done. The knot is a 70/30 Maggards knot on 26mm. I think this is the biggest brush I have had. It worked good on the vintage Williams. I did have to go back to the cake for my second pass. I guess I have to learn this big ole brush.

The handle on the 1912 was turned by Patrick also!
Happy shaves to ya!

Amazing brush. How does the 30/70 maggard feel like ? Been eyeing one for a while for some 26mm artisan brush handles heading to me !

luv2shave The knot feels like a good badger knot. I can not really feel anything of the boar in it. I have not noticed that it did an better or worse job on any soap or cream I tried to use it on. The down size to me is the massive size. There is really no need in it being this large. I would recommend you getting one if you like a good badger with backbone at a good price.
Happy shaves to ya!

I can still remember the night I sat and carved out the design for that handle and its twin brother. Of all my handles to date I'd have to say I'm proudest of those two.

As you have every right to be. That carving is a thing of beauty. I'd be proud to have such an artful piece of shaving gear.
