Thread: Don't like my knot

Hi Guys,

I bought a shaving soap a while ago and I love it to bits.

Blackbeard - Bringing you back to the Golden Age of Piracy and the Pirate's code Blackbeard epitomized. Now, while we certainly don't condone piracy, smelling like a pirate has never smelled this good! To create Blackbeard, we started with tobacco, then added some cherry, vanilla, patchouli, cloves, and other spices. (Pasted from WSP Site).

In keeping with the pirate theme, I bought a new brush.

The brush was advertised as 100% badger but I have to say that it doesn't feel like any of my other badgers. It's not soft is all backbone and to me feeels like the really cheap synthetic brush I got from the body shop and never use.

Is it possible that badger can feel this bad?

How would I go about removing the knot and replacing it?

I really like the handle

I was thinking boar because I like it but would actually like to try a horse hair knot too.

How does horse compare to boar?

I have a feeling that knot based come in diferent diameters, is it as simple as measuring across the top of the hole when I get the old knot out with a ruler?
