Is it possilbe to have someone make a brush for me?

Hey guys. Alright, to start, here is the handle:

http://www.westcoastshaving.com/Omega-10098-Professional-Boar-shaving-Brush_p_1501.html

I'd like to put in a TGN knot in there but I not only have no idea what I'd be doing but I don't have the tools. That being said, if I pay for all the materials, shipping and your time, is there someone out there who'd be willing to make it for me? WCS says the knot is 27mm...does that mean I would have to order the exact same knot size?

I'd suggest opening the handle base and putting some thing of heft in it. That's in addition to the knot change you want. Its a decent boar knot. You don't enjoy it?

If that handle has a 27mm Omega knot in it, then the actual opening in the handle is going to be more like 30mm, because of the black plastic cup around the knot.
If I remember right the last 27mm Omega knot I removed I put a 30mm TGN finest in the handle, but I can't remember if I had to open the opening up any to take the 30mm knot.
I would get the old knot out first. Then see what size knot you actually need to fit the opening.

Oh it's a good brush, but since I received my 620, this brush is getting no love. I love the handle so much that I figured if I threw a different knot on, it would get some play.

Thanks. No idea why I didn't think of Rudy. I just sent him an email.
