Thread: I currently need a brush restored what sites/people offer this service?

I currently have a Brush that is shedding very badly. I would typically buy a new one but this has Sentimental Value. I would like to keep the handle but just get a brand new brush installed into it. What site could I go to that offers this service?

I might be sticking my foot in my mouth saying this, but I don't think shedding is a condition that can be fixed. A friend sent a brush with sentimental value to Bern at Shavemac for a new knot in the original handle but restoring an old knot that is shedding ? Dunno.

Sorry if I didn't explained myself correctly. I would like to just keep the handle I want to get a whole new brush portion for it.

I changed my original post because I didn't explain well enough.

Gotcha, I know my friend is real happy with his new shavemac knot in his old handle. If you don't mind shipping overseas, assuming you're in the USA, Bern will do it. Others will undoubtedly chime in with other options that may be closer to home.

We have several vendors who do brush making. You might contact one of them and ask if they will make a new piece for you using your handle.

You can buy new knots from whippeddog.com or thegoldennib.com and give a go at replacing it yourself. I'm thinking about doing the same.

I would suggest trying to remove the old knot first. I pulled a knot off an old handle, and the handle broke....

Ok well the handle broke.



Now I have to repair the handle just on principle. Ok well the metal band broke also. What kind of epoxy should I use to glue this together?

Then I'll get to replacing the initial issue the knot.

BTW this stuff smelled aweful while I was drilling it. It smelled a little like fiberglass.
