Best glue to fix my broken Kent vs30?

[FaPat5]

Recently the knot fell out of my shaving brush while using it. Even though it wasn't an expensive brush, I like using it.

So I was wondering if someone could let me know what sort of glue would be best to stick it back together?

Check out this thread! I just recently had the same problem and the fine members here provided a prompt and correct answer.

Well, I use Devcon 5 min two-part epoxy on all my brushes, not sure if you get this one in the UK, but any good quality two-part epoxy should do. In all the years I have made brushes I know only of two that the knot has come out, and in both cases the brushes were dropped on hard surface, and the shear forces broke the glue bond. This is a very rare occasion, normally I do have a very hard time to get a knot out of a brush I made - normally I need to destroy the handle to get to the knot.

Thanks guys - sorry I missed the other thread :-/ I think it might be lose because I always drown the brush? I have two that did this. This boar one and a cheap best badger from tk maxx. Drowned them both in hot water lol.
