Knots for restorers

[ShaveYourSoul]

I was thinking that maybe we could start a list of places to buy knots for all the restorers out there. I'm interested in knowing myself to see if I can acquire something different than what I have already. Here's who I've purchased from"

The Golden Nib
Whipped Dog
Muhle
Frank Shaving

Who else is out there?

 

[NexlevMM]

I've found some from this gentleman.

PC Woodcraft and Pens

Yeah, I got a contact from another member here. They were more than willing to work with me.

How are the PC knots?

PC has HORSE too? oh my, now this is getting interesting.

I'm almost thinking my quest for an all restore rotation is stronger than conventional SBAD

Honestly I havent tried any PC knots yet. I just stumbled upon that site when I was looking for other options. He has a good variety though, and pretty inexpensive.

I ordered a horse hair PC knot a few weeks ago that's just begging to be re-handled. Maybe this weekend? I'll report back on it when I do!

It is addictive to custom build or restore!

that it is.

i just got 1 knot today in my rubberset and just placed an order for a HORSE from PC.

Is it Shavemac that also sells knots? Are they expensive?

Are they really that much better given the high cost?

i used my 24mm WD silvertip today and was amazed at how well it did. soft, lost about 5 hairs on it's 1st official shave.

i have not tried any other replacment knots to compare it to, but must say, it was very very nice. it will be in regular roation with a Thayer and a couple M&F brushes and i'm pretty sure it will hold it's own.

I've gotten them from others, and always am let down. My list starts and ends with TGN.

Same, I've been so spoiled with Tony's stuff that i'm afraid to go anywhere else for the fear of lacking in quality.

not to doubt bobfarvour and his experience (as he probably has a lot more in his pinky that that I do in my whole body), but Whipped Dog knots have been serving me well so far. Although I've only experienced 3 of his knots (2 blacks and 1 silvertip), they have stood up to use with nary a shed and look to be of great quality (at least as far as I can tell with my novice eye).

okay - re-mane of my Ever Ready 500 is up - check it out here for my impressions of the PC horsehair knot.

 

[NexlevMM]

Can we sticky these? For future restorers and reference.

 

[NexlevMM]

Found another one I may purchase from immediately in the future. Great Prices and many sizes you wouldnt usually find.

Like i said before. I motion a sticky of this thread for future brush restorers.
