Has anyone turned a Shaving brush handle?
I'd like to find a supplier for the knots (or plugs) of Badger Hair to glue
into the turned handles.
I found one supplier but price seems high.
Thanks!

I would suggest using some other material, Badgers do not like giving |
hair nowadays. We at least eat the meat of cattle before we use their
skin to make leather, we do not eat Badgers, well not in this country,
before using their hair. If you get some hair, make sure the cyanide gas
residue or damage done by Badger baiting is cleaned off first.

You could open a Badger hair salon and advertise cheap Badger hair
cuts/removal - I'm sure that the more sophisticated Badgers in your
area would patronize such a place. In addition to getting plenty of
Badger hair, this would provide a politically correct and renewable
hair source - you might even corner the Badger hair market with that.
;)
Seariously, you could use those one of cheap brushes from the local
pharmacy and disassemble it. Of course if you know Johnny Five, you
wouldn't want that to mention that you are disassembling things to him.

Thanks Mike. Every newsgroup has a signal to noise ratio. Glad to see
there's some "signal" on this one.
Blankity-blank seems to be the only supplier of the knots in the US. Unless
I can find some plastic drugstore brushes with high-quality badger, I'll
have to spring for what they're asking.
Have you tried selling yours on eBay?

at least "my people" have not killed most of them off so I ( and
those that follow me) do not know what they look like. I,
unfortunately got a little hot under the collar about the way the
request was made, I apologise to Pete & Kathy for that. I will not
comment further re. The fur from China etc. as I know I will only
upset others again especially if you wear dog fur which is used in
clothing in the west, which is exported from china, they at least do
eat the dog, quite a delicacy I believe.

Nothing wrong with dog fur except, other than for limited warmth, it looks
like dog fur. Coyote fur on the other hand can be very attractive and
warmer (much harder to shoot than dogs and they smell better). Dog is not a
delicacy to me. I have no problem with gaminess in meat, but I found dog to
be even greasier than bear. The Koreans did a great job with dog. With all
the pepper, it could have been veal.
Regards,
Hank |
