Hi All, I'm new to B&B and my name is Mark. OK, now that that's out of the way I need some advice and opinions about this shave brush I picked up yesterday at an antique mall. It is really a beautiful brush it's all clear and the bristles are nylon and on the bottom it says Opal Pure Nylon Sterilized. Now should I leave it original with the nylon bristles in place or should I remove them and get a Badger silver tip Knot. Part of me wants to keep it original and the other part wants to make it a more usable brush.
What to do with this brush?

I'm not a bit fan of this type of nylon bristle. I'd probably reknot.
No question. Re-knot it with a finest from Tony.
Welcome to B&B.
Ditch the nylon bristle and re knot that baby.
I like the looks of the handle.
There are plenty of restore threads floating around to show you how.
But, you have to show pics when you are done.

The only problem is that the handle is clear and the current nylon bristles are set in something purple that you can see through the handle. Now when I drill and clean out the old bristles and try to glue in a new knot, well I think it could leave a nasty mess that you could see from the outside of the handle.
