First Knot Replacement

[12stones]

Got this badger brush over 12 years ago. Can't remember from where I purchased it or what kind of badger it was, but it was my first badger. I can tell you that I didn't take great care of it over the years, so about a month ago it started shedding pretty badly. So, a little virtual trip to the Golden Nib to pick up a best badger, a little epoxy, and BAM, a "new" brush.

Great job. Enjoy. I have a few to set but haven’t gotten around to it.

Just as a follow-up: used it for the first time yesterday and this knot is lovely. Soft with great backbone; lathered quickly and easily; nice feel on the face. I'll definitely look at using these again for future makes/refurbs.

Glad you saved that handle, it looks great. Sounds like the replacement was a success and you have a lot of great years ahead with your brush. Enjoy!
