Surrey Reknot Back in January, I received a challenge to reknot this Surrey brush from Perry @PLAla. I accepted the challenge, and on February 3, the brush arrived. I removed the knot and cleaned out the hole to prepare it for the new knot. I ordered three two-band badgers from Ace Shaving in China. They came in today, February 17, so I chose the best of the three to put in the handle. After preparing the handle and dry fitting the knot this is what I had. I decided to set the knot with silicone. Here it is in its new home: the Surrey Reknot. I will let it set until Sunday when I will do a test lather with it. I will post pictures of that when the deed is done. Thanks for watching.
Update: Sunday, February 19, First Lathering Ready to lather. Loaded for 30 seconds. Building the lather Got some pretty nice lather. All done. Time to bloom. Blooming complete.
It looks great! I'm so pleased to have worked with Jim on this project and happy to give the brush a second life. You'll see it soon in SOTD posts!
