I think it looks great, but whether or not you know it you have been infected with a chronic, non-curable disease.The incubation period may be from a few minutes to a few weeks, months, or possibly years. One day you will know that the knot, handle, or both are not "perfect" and you will continue your search to find and restore another brush to perfection. You have a better chance of finding the Holy Grail than the "perfect brush"
