the old man brush

[sealer]

Last time I was up here I used to shave with a brush, soap, but cartridge, and didn't pay attention of anything shaving related. 5 years afterwards I was curious to see my old man brush...

That's something I would not approach my face on a dare, but the old man uses it every day...

It is really soft and dense, but, jeez, it is crappy. It is funny, as often people says to not do circular swirls on the face, never thought about it but now I reckon the crater developed on this brush is because of that.
Not sure if a 'good' kid should gift him a good brand new brush, re-knot it, or just leave his brush alone

PS. Looks you can get some "gel" tips after some years of daily use of a non-gel brush, and of course, that people still save money while shaving his beard

That's what happens when when you don't have a 7 day brush set.

Well, I bet with 7 brush the outcome would be similar... maybe with 20 brushes and buying-selling it would be different?
At least we know now the consecuences of daily circular swirling for decades

That is absolutely beautiful! I would respect that for what it is and leave it alone.

What's his razor?

it is a cartridge gillette, I reckon at least 20 years old the handle at least.
\I'll try on the morning to take a picture of his shaving den....

Just in case he wants a replacement there's a NOS Kent T8 on eBay at the moment. In Spain.

True. I still have my Granddads Kent V16. 30 odd years of daily use and it's still in great shape. Pretty certain he was paint brush back and forth sort of man.

well, for a change, i would go for something different, but maybe the original knot would be a way to go...
