I just got a old barber's brush handle and I was wondering where could get a super silvertip knot from. I've never redone one, so any info would be great. Will post pics tonight.

You could get a knot from the golden nib: badger hair shaving brushes and knots, wholesale pricing
I haven't used them myself, but I've heard good things. It sounds like the "finest" grade is a good mix of softness and backbone for most, as the softer knots are a little floppier. However, you could probably set the softer knot a little lower, as the lower loft would add a little backbone to the mix.
Yay for experimentation!
Golden nib is an excellent choice. I use their knots and I like them very much
I kinda like a floppy brush. thanks. Is there anyone that will set it? I looked in the classifieds, but didnt see that particular service
I can set it. It's knot all that hard! Lol get it?? Well anyway I can do it for you no charge. PM me if your interested

Golden nib is the place, as said before. Take the A grade silvertip they are very floppy.
I do NOT want a super floppy brush, I prefer soft tips with a firm backbone. It's hard to discern, based on the GN site descriptions, if I should go for the super, best, or finest. It seems that everyone has their own definitions for those terms.
IMO, you want a TGN 2-band finest. And, i'd recommend the extra hair version. Soft tips and good backbone.Quote:
