    Today was my first time gluing (using 2 part Loctite epoxy) a shave knot into a brush handle. The handle of choice was PAA’s Switchback 400 Aluminus along with their 24mm Crown King Suave synthetic knot. How do you like the finished product? The knot is tightly attached to the handle now.

    That’s a great looking brush! How do you like the weight and grip?

    Avon April shave 11
    Brush: PAA Switchback 400
    Razor: 1946-47 Gillette Aristocrat
    Blade: Gillette Super Thin
    Soap: Pre De Provence no 63
    Aftershave: Avon Spicy
    This was my first time using the PAA Switchback and I'm happy to say it was a success. The knot I glued in stayed in and attached to the handle; even when I shook it out to dry it stayed in place. 96F24D67-8D36-4F8C-84FD-1F8631E5DF48.jpeg
