Thanks if anyone can direct me to the right places. Carl

Hey Carl: Here's a link to how Anthony makes them: http://www.penturners.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=19871&whichpage=2&SearchTerms=shaving,brush If the link doesn't work, just do a IAP search for "shaving brush" and you'll find it. They're fun to make and in my opinion, they're much easy to make than pens.

Good luck . . .

http://www.aftosa.com/shavbrusbrus.html Might try here, not sure what type of hair but an email to them would probably get you an answer.

I know one of the guys on another forum had tried to buy direct from overseas and ran into a lot of problems with customs. I'm not sure but it had something to do with them being badger hair.?

Carl, I use 30 minute epoxy to set the heads and have only had one failure on over 200 + brushes.
You need to be generous with the epoxy. People really tug, pull and shake the heck out of these things.
I used mine for 3 months before I sold any, just checking how the stablized wood held up and how the head stayed in place.
