Thanks. Ray did a great job.

Hi All,

Just a short update. I sent the brush to walleyeman for him to take a look at and see what he thought was going on and here is what he sent back to me. Sweet!

Thanks Nightblade. I've let the brush soak in cold water to just below the handle and when I'm done with the shave, I do exactly what you do, shake it, give it a gentle squeeze, and then hang up...

Hi Nightblade,

It's the same brush. I thought I had it fixed but when I went to squish the water out of it the knot came off in my hand.

Ok, so it lasted 4 weeks this time. Absolutely no hot water this time. It looks like the failure is with the glue they used. Even with the bottom of the knot roughed up, it looks like the epoxy...

Ok, had some time this weekend so I whittled down a small piece of wood I had to fit in the handle and got it glued up. I used the marine epoxy again and put a bunch of it into the bottom of the...

That's good to now. This is the first brush I've played with and didn't quite know what to expect.

Hi Chris,

Thanks. I meant to measure the openings but forgot but the opening is too small for pennies and a cork would have to be trimmed down but that gave me an idea. A large diameter dowel...

Ok, had some down time yesterday due to the "ice storm" and did some work on the brush. I first tried soaking the handle in hot water for a while and was surprised that the marine epoxy I had used...

Cool beans. Thanks Bob, I appreciate it.

Sweet. Those are some great pipes. There are some great small pipes out there. Look at Walsh suttle pipes and get the 3 drone version, not the 2 drone. I've heard some good things about Highland...

Yeah, that's the plan but I've had several offers from folks who will give it a go if it fails again.

I thought so too but they refereed me to the vendor.

I surfed the web for their contact info but came up empty. I thought I finally found it but when I clicked on the contact link, it took me to a vendor somewhere in England.

Yeah, paying multiple times for shipping doesn't set well with me either unless it's something I did. Running into the same problem with a Cuisinart blender, its been sent back twice and both times...

LOL!! The thought has crossed my mind. Apparently their policy is not to return any health care products that have been used for health safety reasons and the vendor that sold under Amazon follows...

Hi Nightblade,

Thanks, I appreciate it. Opinions and constructive criticisms are always welcome. :) Yeah, I'll be sticking with vendors from now on. I do have to admit that I do like the knot. ...

Hi Chris,

Thanks. The knot fell out of the handle the first time. I picked up the handle and the knot stayed in the bowl. The knot seems to be ok but when I epoxied it back into the handle, the...

Thanks. It was an amazon purchase. I'll have to go back and see who it really came from.

Thanks Nightblade. Yeah they are inexpensive. I'm going to give it a try one more time. If that doesn't work I'll get another brush. It'll give me an excuse to check out straight razor designs.

Not yet. But a good learning experience. :)

Well, so much for epoxy. I guess this brush is going in the trash.

Hi All,

I'm looking for advice for repairing a Semogue 1305. Only had it for 2 weeks before the bristles fell out of the handle. I contacted the vendor who will not take it back because it is...
