Thread: Nice surprise!

I doubt the fella who gave it to me would think to replace the knot. But I don't know for sure. I will say the brush smells like it's been used meaning I smell the soap in it. The sticker on the handle says Boar. The brand is Surrey. I'll definitely try that deep clean. Thanks

Amazing how much crap comes out, esp new knots!

Forgot to add this. He also gave me a NIB Old Spice shaving soap
