Test shaving my new 24mm badger and the Geneva Cutlery I honed for the PIF.

Chris, I love the new posh intro to your videos.  

As I mentioned in your other thread about the purchase of this brush and where it might lead you, you do realize you will cause a riot if you do not show us photos of scales made of the same wood.  Simply gorgeous.

Thanks, Freddy . I had fun putting the intro together. Basic template from a website, but it was fun, and gives a little "flair"...

As for the burl box elder scales...it's definitely a plan for the near future. I want to design and make a couple more sets before I get into to more expensive materials, but once I develope some reasonable proficiency, I will definitely be making a matching razor for this brush...

I've been contemplating getting my hands on a bunch of older razors to refinish and rescale. It might not be a bad idea to get a vendors booth at this same fair next year...

Dang, I wish I didn't hate driving so much because if you had a vendor booth at this fair I think I'd be there in a flash.  (Are you sure you don't want to move to San Diego? )

Chris, you should try lathering directly on your head with the new badger brush. You'll get to spend more time massage your scalp. Then, if you ever contemplate getting a 2-Band badger brush with strong backbone, you'll understand luxuriousness.
You can even invest, if possible, in a lovely custom-made resin handle with a TGN Finest knot.

Enjoy your new brush!

Great video skills Chris. I really enjoyed watching it.
