Thread: Best finish for shave kit?

I'd probably use a couple of coats of a polyurathan varnish or maybe a superglue finished as used on pens ,

Hi fumbler , wow ..........you are on a roll now !
Try some CA glue , gives a hard , shiny finish

I have two shave brushes that I have been using for 2-3 years now and the finish is as new - used polyurethane. First applied 3 thinned coats and then 3 coats after that. Did one in a satin and the other gloss and they held up very well.

Also did the coating before inserting the brush and the one brush is attached with epoxy and the other with silicone (should make it easier for someone in 50 years to remove and replace) - all in an attempt to make sure that there wasn't anywhere where water could get in under the finish.

Personally I prefer a poly finish for something that will be used wet.

CA seems like a good choice as i can apply on the lathe.
Has anyone used "Knights Clear acrylic"?
i have had great results using this stuff on my cedar fishing floats, non yellowing and also once fully cured actually stands up to the vigour of being immersed in salt water for hours on end. I originally chose that as was going over acrylic hand paint for the hi-vis orange day glow, and white paint for visibility at 30m from the boat. Each float was given 4 or 5 thin coats to get serious waterproof coating.
