Thread: My new brush!

I've been considering buying a knot from the nib. How do you, or other readers here, like their product compared to the high end brushes like kents etc

Now that is really different. First time I have seen a "Monkey's Fist" knot used as a shave brush handle. Looks good, how does it work for a handle in actual use?

Probably one of the most original handles I've ever seen. An A for effort there.

Nice monkey's fist. How's she handle?

I can't comment on the difference in knots b/c this is the first brush I have made. I am happy how fast it came though and his measurements were spot on.

I had never seen a brush like this (though I haven't been around these parts for very long ;D) and I really liked the idea so I went for it. I'm still working out the kinks. I didn't permanently attach the knot yet b/c I was not sure it was sealed all the way. I used it this morning and it worked great but I do have to seal it up a little more (got a little water inside). I really like how it fits in the hand. Once I get her up and running smoothly I'll post up a thread in the workshop on how I made her if anyone is interested?

Thanks for the interest and comments everyone. Keep em coming.

OK, so ergonomically it is working well. What I don't understand is what you will be attaching the badger knot to. Do you have a solid object inside the Monkey's Fist to attach the knot into?
