You heard the man @Mark1966 his only concern is you kissing him.
Since that is extremely unlikely, you might as well go for it [it being what you're thinking of and not his phobia

Ever get that feeling that it would be easier to just be quiet and not reply mate?

Ok back to your designated program.

Received the Omega stash today and they were generous. They also sent along 5 tubes of the cream. I might have the largest stash in Aus.

Anyway Drilled through the bottom of the Omega brush and tapped out the brush knot with a punch. Then using a coping saw and a vice I
removed the plastic retaining collar.

 

[Ebonysw45]

Then sanded the bottom of the Omega knot and tapered it a little as it was not symmetrical. The knot is about 23mm at the base now.

That Omega haul keeps on giving. The stands and cases re-deployed.

Cheers. I blame Mark for selling me those the initial 4, right there. But to be honest it feels rewarding, even more so than restoring straight razors. The brushes are not made of anything fancy but much like anything vintage I like them more then new ones. They have a story and I restore them to useable condition like my straights without making them new, they still have bumps and nicks, I fill the hollow handle with blu tack to add some heft and put in an epoxy putty shelf. All things that are easily reversible. I long ago embraced Wabi-Sabi. In the background there are some of my fedoras, another rabbit hole.
