The triple set looks really good together. I had seen a brown colored Every Ready brush (the bottom part) but it was listed as a green marble finish, though it appeared that through the ages it had gotten a brownish hue. The brown color might just be a regular brown color that has lost it's sheen. Your brush has the same color as the Every Ready brush in this picture.

Cool! Shhh! Don't let the brushes hear! Do you have a favorite? OK, they're in another room right now so I can answer you. Based on looks the red one is my favorite, performance wise that goes to the blue one with the synthetic knot. But, I just used the brown one for the first time and the TGN best is a very, very nice knot, bordering on being an outstanding performer. The triple set looks really good together.

View Attachment It was really cool finding the three variations locally like that. I'm reasonably certain that it is the original color, it has some very slight marbling.

As with all of Tom's work they all look great, however I like the brown best.

Thanks fellas. The brown one is kind of unique looking, but the handle was in the roughest shape of the three. The picture of the bottom didn't come out very well at all, not sure what the white is to the right of the U.S.A.by the two stripes, must've been glare or something. After a couple uses the TGN Best is earning some very high marks.

Once again you leave me speechless....What a beautiful save....If I had to pick a winner......hmmmm, I'm afraid the crown would go to the Brown, she is absolutly lovely although I wouldn't kick anyone of those out of my shave-cave for any reason...lol!
Tom it really warms my heart to see the work you do in saving these historic examples of functional art, which were created only to improve our quality of life...and now you've returned them to like new condition so they can continue to do just that....Bravo, and Bully!!....Sincerly wishing you mucho shaving zen enjoyment !!
