I apologize if this question has been asked before, and I am just a simple consumer (so additional apologizes if this should be posted somewhere else). I have a brush handle and a separate shaving knot coming in. I will need to glue them together (obviously). I have read that many prefer the stronger epoxy method, but some also recommend silicone (such as RTV). As a non-expert, would anyone be willing to let me know of the pros/cons of the two-part epoxy vs. silicone? My limited reading suggests that the only real benefit to silicone is that it's easier to remove/replace the knot (which also means, that the 'glue' is less effective/long-lasting).
Fwiw, I'm leaning heavily towards Devcon's epoxy, but I would like to be informed by anyone with real experience before committing. Thanks!

Seeking advice: silicone or epoxy?
I recently caught the DE shavingbug and have found a new passion! What with all the cool soaps, creams, pre andpost shaves, after shaves, razors, blades, etc. the investment adds up quickly.So I decided to make a couple of brushes. The first handle is complete. Itis white oak with black paint...
