Hi Tom,

I know Richard Findley turns wooden shaving brushes & bowls for Thomas Clipper http://www.thomasclipper.com


He finishes them with Treatex hard wax oil which he also sells from his online shop (scroll down the page)

I saw the late Mark Raby demonstrating Treatex & was incredibly impressed with it, he had vessels filled with different liquids to show how well it stood up in use, here's what he wrote about it on his site http://www.markrabywoodfinishing.co.uk/treetex?___SID=U
