Burma Shave Handle

[ThomasB98908]

I have a Burma Shave brush. Hate the brush but love the handle. Any suggestions on putting a new knot in it? Not even sure what size knot it is.
Are replacement boar knots available or are most of them badger? I'm open to either. Also, where would I go about getting a different knot for the handle? Just loaded with questions tonight aren't I <G>.

The knot that comes in the brush is 20 mm.

Tks GDC- will check those out.

Checked those out. Nice. Was wondering if clear silicone would also work instead of epoxy? Its definately water proof and when dry should hold knot in (I think). Hadn't thought about putting a synthetic in there.

I think it would work for the ballast on the inside, but you will want to have a firm grip where the knot meets the side of the rim and waterproof epoxy fits the bill better.
