I completed brush #2 a Certifyd #5 with a HMW 26mm set in 27mm hole by 50mm loft. Sealed the wood in a dozen coats of marine grade varathane and left the rubber as it was. Nice contrast from high...

It came apart and cleaned up rather quick and easy so I added the pic. It'll take a 26mm knot with up to 18mm of depth without modification. Now to refinish the wood and restore the rubber sleeve.

Perfect. I have a left over kit from doing my old '97.

GAWD! I love this place. :y

Thank you pixelfixed.

Thanks for helping me learn to fish and fixin' brushes. :rock:

Got a new old woody this morning that might take up to a 28mm knot. Having been born in Texas bigger is better. Wheeeee ...

The 20x65 HMW knot arrived today. After over thinking it to death I went for a 49mm loft and it went together just fine. All I had to do was remove a couple mm from 20mm wooden handle. I can...

I've read about using a little silicon first for a few test drive before...

I do use my ToBS Sandalwood (I'm everything ToBS S these days) shampoo to prep & maintain but I never thought of finishing with some of the wife's conditioner. With like brushes, one old used and...

I'm keeping one original and will continue to beat it up in hopes it might soften a bit. It was inexpensive so I didn't have big expectation with the bristles. It is the handle I'm after.

Again...

Thanks for the encouragement. After researching I see that it will not be that difficult to remove & replace the knot. :whipped: The HMW knots from TGN have captured my attention. I see where I...

Thank you for your speedy replies. Being a newbie here I am grateful for the feedback.

I have thought of trying myself. I got a second one on the way and have thought about trying to dissect it...

Hello Everyone,

I’m looking for someone to change the bristles to the next softer/less screechy badger bristle. Can this be done and is it worth it or would I be better off having a custom brush...
