Hi. This is the only brush I have ever made, (maple and walnut) but unfortunately, when I made it about two years ago I bought the knot from a local woodwork supply store and it is not standing up to daily use. It now sheds hairs every time I lather up so sadly it is time for it to go. My next brush is still in the concept stage but I thought I would post a pic of this one before it retires and disappears into obscurity.

That's a beautiful handle Scouser, how about just replacing the knot?
My thought exactly! That handle is beautiful, don't toss it away, just replace the knot instead :)Quote:

Really I would say keep using it a brush knot can lose a ton of hairs and still be good. My guess given time it will stop and still feel good on the face
I have a new decent quality knot on order for my next brush so I will be using this brush till the new one is finished. Then as some of you have suggested I may re-knot this one. To be honest I needed an excuse to make another brush anyway. Thanks for your replies.
I've got to agree with everyone that you should do something with it. It's your first and a cool one to boot.
Nice handle! Please reknot!!

I call for a reknot. All in favor say "I".
'I' say 'send it to me!' I shall swap you something! (not soliciting!)
What size knot is that? Looks small.
This knot is about 22mm. When I made this brush I had no idea where to buy knots and my local woodwork supply store had a choice of one. I have no complaints as it has served me well. Regarding your "not soliciting!" offer, you could tempt me with a trade offer but I think I may just keep this and display it with my embarrassingly ever expanding razor collection.
It is a looker! :tu
