    Jim saved the original knot, and then made a duplicate brush #311. It is now part of my brush rotation.

He did a fantastic job and I want to thank him for all his hard work! It lathers well and I really enjoyed it this morning with my double ring!

    Here are the pre-bloom photos of my B-400 by Tom aluminum handle with a 23 mm Envy White Supreme Two-band fan shaped knot. I set it at a 54 mm. A big thanks to @twhite for this beautifully crafted handle and to @clint64 and@Boojum1 for helping me select the knot.

    I do like @twhite 's handles. I think they are beautiful. Is he making handles again??

    Unfortunately I am not. No more making anything at work. It is now forbidden.

    Thank you. It is a beautifully crafted handle, and I'm fortunate to have it. I purchased this one from Tom last spring.

    Sorry to hear that Tom. Tools come and go, but you own the knowledge.

    The T400 is pretty spectacular; I especially like how you can disassemble the handle.

    I love the Rubberset 400, but couldn't abide the inflated auction prices. So, I got the one-piece Razorock version. I'd never owned a synthetic brush, so I was surprised that the performance was equal to badger. For $20, you really can't beat the value...

    I reknotted RazoRock 400 with a good Badger Knot. It is now, excellent, and inexpensive.

    Any 400 club members have preferences for sanding in a) the same direction or b) opposite directions at grit change when restoring these brushes? Thoughts and ideas much appreciated ☺
