Just bought a butterscotch brush handle with a SHD knot already installed. Will be my 2nd SHD knot but it was the butterscotch handle that got me as I have been wanting one that color.
I only half seriously bought it. I threw out a bid I could live with if I did win it. I wasn't going to pay over $50 USD for it with shipping before tax and to my surprise frankly no one bumped the bids up at the last moments.
It's a cool handle so I was glad to see it go to someone here at the den. I actually have the same handle in a mismatched set mated to a Brit FB tech.
my favorite of the 2 piece handles.i like the brit barber pole knurled one as well but the plating is usually patchy on them.at least on the ones i have and have seen.
Waiting for a Simpson Trafalgar T3 synthetic (should be here this week). My favourite synthetic is the Simpson CH2 "synthetic bristle" ... I hope not to be disappointed by the Trafalgar As I understand it, the fibres are different from the ones in the CH2 knot, but reviews are positive. We'll see
