Jayaruh #1 Gets Refreshed
When I took the pictures for this weeks shaves, I noticed that my Jayaruh #1 badger brush had suffered wear over the past five years, so I decided to give it a refresh. This was my first hand-made brush I had done. This was done without a lathe and with just hand tools.
Here is the original picture I took after completing the brush in January of 2015. It was stained with walnut stain and finished with Polyurethane satin finish.

Here it is a few days ago when I took my pictures for the week. You can see the worn area around the top. I restained that area and gave the handle two coats of Winmax Polycrylic semi-gloss finish.

Here it is after its refresh. This should do for many years.
