I recently posted a picture of a Mach 3 razor kit made with a hippo tooth. Firewhatfire said, gee, you should make a shaving brush out of a hippo tooth.

Well, I took his advice and did so. The tooth was large enough to make two brushes. This one matches my razor very closely and I fitted it with a chrome cupped brush to match the razor. I went all the way and also made a razor stand in chrome. The barrel is made from lignum vitae to help resist moisture.

I'll post the second brush separately.

C & C appreciated.
