nice handle. Re-knot.

I was thinking, "Toss it," but re-using the handle makes much more sense. If you are not so inclined, trade or PIF the handle.

I've definitely thought about re-knotting it. I've never done that before but it would make for a cool project, and probably the cheapest super silvertip badger brush ever.
Until then, perhaps I'll try using this to shave on "Floppy Fridays"

Just ordered a 20mm super badger bulb knot from TGN. Updates forthcoming
Dang that's so floppy it's comical! Looks like a Persian cat who got stuck in a downpour.
Ah LatherDude, you got one of those exclusive brushes made from the tail hair of an eastern red squirrel.
Nice catch.
Nice catch.
I'd recommend setting the loft no higher than ~47mm, my TGN Super @50mm had the same flop your current knot displays. I hope you can set it deep enough in that handle, next time stick with a TGN short loft Best or Finest XD bulb.
The Vulfix 2235S is also very soft but I really like using it. Makes a wonderful lather and heaven on the face. You can adapt to most brushes. Just my two penneth.
While you wait for the new knot to arrive, just put a few elastic bands over the base of the old knot to make it temporarily have more backbone.
