    Some time ago I took a bottle cap and converted it into a shaving brush with a TGN 23 mm nylon synthetic knot. That information can be seen below.

    It used one of the older TGN knots and it was looking a little run down compared to what the new TGN knots could offer. So I decided to replace the old style 23 mm with a new style 22 mm.

    Here is the revised bottle cap brush.​

    The flair is smaller on this brush, not only making it more proportional with the handle, but also makes the knot more dense at the tips which improves overall performance.​

    Nice job again, Gary. I'm still trying to make up my mind about the TGN synthetic, I haven't used it enough.
