I will admit. I'm afraid to use the brush considering its age and past use.

Give the knot a good, strong Oxyclean bath and use it without the handle, or shoved down in the handle to see if it is good. Bet it is. Looks like badger? You might have a home run with a little adhesive!

It kind of looks like a replacement knot and may not be that old ? Why else would it just fall out like that ? Those are my thoughts when I saw the pic.
I have a couple of old horse hair brushes and luckily no anthrax yet :<0) I do prefer I new knot.Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Good point, Pups! The knot looks like it has never been adhered! Sooo obvious!

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

Might be boar dyed to look like Badger. Boar brushes are great! The tips look split and soft! 2 tablespoons of Oxyclean in a big coffee cup/ mug. fill with water and chunk it in. Take it out an hour later and rinse all good.
Amazing how much crap comes out, esp new knots!Last edited by sharptonn; 03-13-2014 at 02:49 AM.

Don't have oxyclean. What's another alternative cleaning method. Thanks
