The handle is a wooden door knob which seems to be similar to the Tweezerman wood. It already had a 28mm hole so I ordered a 26mm silvertip knot, placed a magnet and covered with white glue and after it dried, used epoxy to attach the knot. Hopefully I'll get to use it on Monday.

I like the looks of that brush . . . nice work
A substantial brush - I bet that holds a lot of lather.

Thanks.
My 20 mm TGN knot holds enough for two passes with change. I bet this one should be quite a bit more.
The picture shows my 20 mm and the 26mm attached to cabinet by magnet inside the handle and another one glued on the inside. Obviously I can attach it upside down as well.

Shaved with it today for the first time. It makes a large amount of lather but most notable is the temperature of the lather kept pretty hot for the second pass. This is the first brush I find that stinks a little but I bet it will vanish in another shave or two.

Really nice... 26mm seems huge. Now I am tempted though. 
Nice work!

Thanks.
I had to post the 26mm compared to the Tweezerman. It looks like a brush on steroids. Because the knot is placed quite deep, the bloom isn't so developed.

Nice job. I also did a resto with a 26mm TGN. Back row on the left. Back row on the right is a 28mm TGN. Back row in the middle is a Rudey Vey original also a 26mm I thought but may be a 24.
Beautiful brush collection !!!! The Vey is awsome!!!

That's quite a collection. What's the acrylic/perspex one in the front row?
I have a 26mm Finest from Penworks. It is one great knot!
Front row, clear handle is a B&B contributors special that I purchased last year. Can't remember the details.
