I'm starting some restorations, myself, and found this to be quite helpful along with Razor Emporium's restore video. Not helpful was the boiling water/steam method video-I ended up melting a 150 brush handle and the knot was still holding tight. I found my wife's orange-handled Fiskars sewing scissors to be IDEAL to cut the knot to a clean edge right against the handle. I also seemed to get a cleaner cut with a damp brush. Shave on!
I have a C40 that I bought new many, many years ago. It sat under my sink for years, along with several other brushes. Got back to using them about 6 months ago. Good stuff.
Great video! I just get one C40 and will start the restoration very soon! When I saw your videos I got very excited about that! Did you used the wet sanding process? What is the loft height you have without including the glue? Just the synthetic hair! Thank you!
The height on this 24mm knot is 60mm. I did use fine wet sandpaper to take out any deep scratches. The buffing wheel with polish took out the rest. See part 2 video👍👍
Ken, I have watched this video many times over the last year and I am finally ready. I purchased a c100 Eveready off eBay that looks like the c40 in your video. Any idea what the difference might be?
Please, next time when you're drilling the brush handle: Set on the table, portable vise, with rubber lips. I was nervous when I saw whirling drill near your left hand. Good idea to weight brush with metal balls. The video shows your dog) I decided to participate in the reconstruction.)
You dont have to cut and drill the brush. Just use the boiling method. Use a glass container and a double boiler method. Immerse the glass container in about 2" of boiling water let it heat the brush for about 15 minutes. Then just pull the knot out. Replace the knot with epoxy and let it sit over night
good video ken , is there no limits to your abilities? i notice the ring has emeralds - are you a gemini ? it used to be pearl for a gemini , but also emerald . - just alittle info there for you mate .

Monster Thank you👍💈
Thank you for your video sir.
You have inspired me to try this for my ever-ready brushes. Where do get the cloth attachments for the dremel?
Darryl Sanders I ordered off eBay from China. They were very inexpensive👍💈
@@kensurfs.

Very cool! I might try this on a brush I have, thanks.
It's nice to restore these older brushes👍
Awesome video Ken‼️‼️‼️
Great video. Could you tell me where you got your badger knot from? Thanks a lot!.
David Meyers this synthetic knot I got from maggards. I think it’s called the Sunshine knot

The next ones I used a drill press. It was faster. My dog loves hanging out, especially when I make the videos..lol
Again, Thank you. I’m going to attempt restoring one soon.
David Meyers very cool👍💈
Ken could easily play an FBI agent in a movie!!!

a clean shave always makes guys look like feds
What size knot did you buy for the ever ready brush? I see the sizes vary from 20mm and up
Where did you order your knots
Maggards I believe
If you used the double boiler method, you wouldn't have to do all that grinding with the dremel.
👍👍
