Brush of the day.

Rooney 1/1 Faux Horn Finest (22/45)

I've only had maybe three or four shaves in the last month, but it's been lathered up with this blonde haired fop:

I call him Boris.

The handle is from Haryali and is usually found with a synthetic knot, which I pulled and put into a vintage handle. Left with what is a rather nice wooden handle, I dropped in a pretty bog-standard boar knot from China (I got 10 in a box for peanuts, literally). The knot is actually very good - it softens with little more than maybe a minute in water and lathers up lovely without eating it all for itself.

A very nice looking brush there.

How did you take the knot out of the brush? I have a Yaqi synth with a very high glue bump which has been sent to the back of my cupboard of shame, any recommendations for how best to take the knot out with the least trouble?

Nice looking piece of walnut, looks like a softy boar knot, but that's cool, you're a softy kind of guy. :p

Grip, tug! I got lucky.

My plan B was to hacksaw the top off and crack the remaining wooden ring away from the knot. Basically, I was able to get the full brush delivered cheaper than buying just a knot so my intention to destroy the handle was not a problem.
 
What's your source for raw birch tar?
