Replacement knot suggestions

[DrCarver]

I have a brush with a 24mm Silvertip knot. While it is soft on the face, the knot has low backbone and is quite slimy when wet. It’s obviously been heavily treated.

Aesthetically, the replacement knot needs to be a 3 band so that it fits with the multiple colour bands of the wooden handle.

I am looking for a knot with moderate to strong backbone and natural tips.

I would love to hear your suggestions.

I have several from Maggard including the Silvertip, the 30mm. It is an excellent knot, with a decent backbone, without being stiff. Very soft tips, but not treated (the SHD knots instead are treated). You can decide the amount of backbone when you set it in the handle.

There are two kinds of D01. Three bands and two bands

Depending upon the feel your looking for the Oumo Kirin and Unsullied have had almost no treatment done to them.

Your budget would probably help with recommendations.

What's the question?

 

[Omega48]

And that is why it was better to let him know about that.

I would say $50 USD would probably be my limit. I already have a few higher end brushes so I’m not looking to go big on this one. That being said, I don’t want to cheap out and regret the purchase. I’m guessing that a Shavemac knot is out of my price range.

I recently ordered one of his "master badger" knots and it seems like good quality although I've only used it once. Decent density, moderate backbone and some scrub. I haven't tried his other grades but others seem to like them too.
