This might be a really silly question but if the plug on a knot measures 26mm does that mean it is a 26mm knot ?
Thank you Paulidealy your brush socket should be .5-1mm larger than the knot size, if I glued a 26mm knot into a handle I would say it was a 26mm knot regardless of the socket size. I'm sure other people will have a different take on this. P.
Thank you Nisse , Lovely Brush !View attachment 53002
a 24mm knot in a 24,5mm hole with a flare finishing just shy of 28mm
A year or so ago I removed what was supposed to be a 25mm knot from a Semogue brush to fit it to a handle that had a 24mm knot. I was worried that the knot was going to be slightly too big but it was not, it had 2mm to spare so I don't know what was going on there.
Then, with a similar handle, 24mm knot, I fitted a 24mm badger knot that I bought from Maggard and it was also a very loose fit.
I'm toying with the idea of re-knotting another brush that has a Shavemac's knot that I don't like but I love the handle. I need to find a good badger knot for it that is reasonably priced, not a Maggard knot, it appears that unfortunately Maseto dont do badger knots anymore.... I'll find something
