Restores over the past year

Been in the hobby long enough that I'm not sure what to post that hasn't already been discussed. Figured I'd share some restos. Mainly got into restoring for my own use. I share most of them on my IG but figured I would share here as well. Try to interact on the forums more lol. I shared the Ever-Ready handle already and shown here is a few more handles but I've restored other things such as a few shave bowls and the wood box my Wilkinson Imperial is stored in.
Erdit: added lather catcher images at post 8

Kipco handle


2 more Kipco handles (I swapped ferrules as well)




1800s Theo Kochs brush (replaced the 16mm boar with a badger)


Sta-Fast which I just sold on here

You quite talented

Thank you!

Stunning work!

If I may ask, is that 'set in rubber' brush with the thatch designed wooden handle The original design, or something you added in the cleanup? Either way it's amazing. I've just never seen that before.

Thanks for sharing.

The thatch work is original design and is actually bone. I knew the other one was bone but didn't realize this one was as well until cleaned it.

Excellent work! I really like that first one shown! The one that sold recently is a looker as well. Actually, they all are, good thing I don't have to pick a favorite!

Thank you! The top one is actually my favorite of all the ones I've done. I went with a 20mm boar knot and keep it in my rotation. It was one of my earlier ones and actually what got me hooked on restoring.

Here's a lather catcher I recently did a semi resto on. Mainly just the handle. I straightened the head out where it was a little wonky and it polished up beautifully.

That's a beautiful piece. Mine doesn't have a case unfortunately so I make sure it stays up and out the way until used. Not s DD for me but agree they are a great shave!
