As I said awhile back, I really like this style of ER a lot. A whole lot. Here's three more that I managed to turn into very good, usable brushes. All three where in very good condition and only needed a minimal amount of cleaning and polishing. From left to right is a 250T, a 100T and an H40. The 250T and 100T both have Ace Shaving 20mm boar knots, while the H40 has a TGN 20mm synthetic knot stuffed in it. The lettering on the 250T was unpainted so I left it that way to keep it as close to original as possible, the factory gold paint in the 100T lettering was in such good shape I left it alone, and the H40 has Testors flat black to dress it up a little. Thanks for looking!

Very nice HT. I really like the color pattern of each brush. When you display all three for some reason they remind me of a chessboard lol. I'm not a badger fan I really like that you use synthetic and boar knots. Synthetics have come a long way from the last few years. Nice work Tom.

You will soon earn an Honorary Doctorate of Brushology.
Perhaps we could call you The Knotty Doctor. : )
You are gathering up quite the collection HT.

Thank you for sharing. These look great. I believe ER not only had great razors, but superb brushes as well.

Thank you for sharing. These look great. I believe ER not only had great razors, but superb brushes as well. I definitely agree with this. The only badger brushes I use are restored ER brushes with Silvertip knots installed.

Thanks! The selection of good boar knots is pretty limited, but the ones available are really good quality.That said, I do enjoy using the various brushes with badger knots in them, and the synthetics from TGN are outstanding. This is a very good time for brush restoring!
