Some years ago I pulled the horse hair knot from my Vie Long Amphora handle in favour of synthetic. At the time, choice was limited and the knot I used was a rather scratchy 22mm synthetic from Virginia Sheng and dropping into a hole that suits a 24mm perfectly well, it sat in a bit and had perhaps a stunted appearance.
Before:
Luckily, the knot was easily removed by immersing the whole brush in boiled water for a few minutes, twist and pull.
The new knot is a 24mm Cashmere from AP Shave Co. The size it more in keeping with current trends and a size which I find really suits me - today, 22mm does feel a bit, well, small.
So, my Amphora handle now sports a lofty Cashmere (24x60mm) and looks the business!
