I'd like to mount a good quality (silvertip or best badger) knot on an old brush handle.
Where can I get a knot ?

The two sources I know of for shaving knots are Larry at Whipped Dog and The Golden Nib (TGN). I've purchased 4 knots from TGN and I'm very happy will them all.
I have knots from both WD and TGN, and like them both. My TGN finest is a terrific knot, and the whipped dog is as well. You can do well with both, but probably will need to set the WD deeper than the TGN.
I have a suspicion that The Golden Nib knots are the same as Frank Shaving and Whipped Dog knots are the same as Ace Shaving (from eBay). I have used knots from The Golden Nib, Whipped Dog and Ace Shaving and all are good. TGN knots are the best, I feel. However, I have lately been buying 3 packs from Ace Shaving for the price of one of TGN's. it just takes 2-3 weeks for them to arrive. I am giving all my men relatives restored brushes from Christmas (not sure if they will be used or not) so I have been using Ace Shaving knots on those. For my personal brushes I use TGN knots. Top pic is TGN knots, middle pic is WD knots and the bottom pic is Ace Shaving Knots ($7.00 each!!)
