    Default DIY Knot?

    Has anyone tried this? Less than exhaustive search did not seem to find anything. Curious about adhesives for forming the knot and getting an effectively tight stuffing (Presumably just fight with tightening down a strong oring or some such tight to the end of bunch of bristles to position? will have to ponder this more).

    Not sure what you're referring to.Making your own badger knots or some other hair?Badger knots are readily available in various sizes,so why do this?

    As for why there are numerous reasons. For the knowledge gained from the experience. So more folks continue to retain the skill. The whole DIY Mantra. We can buy new razors also but plenty of folks restore or forge their own.

    As for the hair I was amused by the notion of going after a pet pig once the weather warms up and they won't need their hair as much although the bristles may prove to be too firm in texture to be enjoyable. Mostly its just one of many things to keep the sidelines of my mind occupied.

    Of course with all the debate over the slaughter of badgers (invasive pests in china not those endangered in Europe but...) and not enjoying synthetics I'd be amused to have a "no kill" brush.
