My Semogue 1520 knot just broke off this morning... Fortunately I have a second brush :/ But it's served me so well... I'll post pictures this evening so that I can get a feel as to how screwed I am. 
Awwww Poor Semogue

Broke? As in the handle is broken? If the knot just came out, put a dab of waterproof adhesive in there and jam it back in. I haven't had semogue's come apart like that, but a few brushes I've had did so, and if the handle and knot are both intact (just separated), it's a very easy fix.

Yeah, the knot just came out... it looks like whatever adhesive was holding it in just broke in half...
I have had two knots come out on my. The first was a Tweezerman which I sent back to Amazon as I wasn't thrilled with that brush in the first place. The second, a Frank Shaving Silvertip, I re-glued and lowered the loft significantly turning a somewhat floppy brush into a face lathering machine!

Nice! I'm sorry to keep you waiting on the pictures - I've been working on projects for the nursery, so SWMBO has the higher priority, but stopping by Lowes tonight or tomorrow for the epoxy.
Re-knot it with a nice handle from Rudy Vey or TGN!
My little tweezerman did this yesterday to me. I went and bought a 26mm 57mm loft Finest Badger LIJUN to replace it. Then I epoxied the tweezerman and plan to relegate it to travel duty.
