Thread: Rubberset 3 reknot.

I've been working on a few brushes recently and have finally completed them.

This one is the sought after aluminium Rubberset #3. I removed the original floppy boar hair out of and replaced it with the ever famous ShaveMac D01 2 band. Funny story, I've been plagued with badger knots recently that have all had huge bulges above the glue plug. So a standard 24mm knot that I typically drill a 1" hole for, needs a much bigger hole to fit them into. So when I ordered this D01 knot from Shavemac, I originally ordered a 23mm to give myself some room. Luckily, (for me anyways) ShaveMac was having issues within the family company, which delayed my order long enough to second guess the 23mm decision. I checked a 20mm D01 that I had sitting here, and forgot how perfect these knots come, and decided to change my order to a 24mm, one size larger. The 24mm fits absolutely perfect into this handle. So glad I changed it. I also filled the handle just below the threads inside (for those who have seen the inside of one of these) so that in the future if this ever gets reknotted, they should still be able to unscrew the top.

I'm a bit jealous of this one. The handle and this knot together is stunning, and will truly be a top tier brush..... for a very long time I might add.

I used one nickel in this handle to get the proper loft, so there's money in this handle too TC.
