How do you make shaving Brushes

[Dorno]

Hello everyone
I have been looking around the net trying to find some instructions on how to make shaving brushes and also razors. I have looked on utube but was unable to find anything at all to do with shaving brushes.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks Ian

I haven't made any myself yet but Arizona Silhouette has the components and some instructions for them.

Contact Anthony Turchetta. He sells excellent quality badger hair brush knots and parts for making razors. He can help you. He has an article outlining how to make brushes that was published in American Woodturner.

There is a video on Arizona Silhouette's website for making cosmetic brushes. I use this technique for all of the cosmetic brushes I make.

For shaving brushes, I don't drill as deep. But every thing else is the same.

Here is a link to their brushes page. The video is about 1/3 of the way down the page.
