    This is the second of three lost clumps in less than a month. Of course this is my favorite brush . I guess I have a re-knot project in the near future Brush Mohawk.jpg

    I’d re knot now before the hairs end up stuck in your soaps.

    Don't think I will use it again until I can get a new knot.

    I am pretty sure it is a plisson - It is the Italian Flag brush from Italian Barber

    May I point you in the direction of Maggard Razor's Timberwolf Grey...
    I put a 22mm Timberwolf Grey knot in a Satin Tip Handle.
    Satin Tip with Timberwolf knot1.jpg Satin Tip with Timberwolf knot2.jpeg
    Knot Height from base of plug to tips: 63mm
    Opening / Loft / Handle / Total
    Initially I set it 23.5 / 49 / 51 / 100 Set at a 14mm depth with Silicone and a wine cork spacer.
    I changed it to 23.5 / 52.5 / 50.5 / 103 to create a little more loft.
    or
    The APShaveCo SynBad synbad1.jpg synbad top2.jpg
    which is very similar and reminds me of
    my cashmere knot. cashmere.jpg

    Use silicone to set the knot. It is forgiving and allows for an easy change.
    The opening will suggest a knot 1.5mm-2mm smaller. For example, a 20mm opening will suggest a 18mm-18.5mm knot. The glue bulge is wider than the knot base, so just because it fits initially, does not mean it will fit deep enough for your liking. Also, most knot sellers will tell you what they recommend for the knot you are buying.

    Looks to me like your brush is just going through a Punk phase. It happens. And it will eventually move on to some other fad. You know how kids are. ;)
