He's in the states.
...and since this is a different forum, I'll give @Mrchick a different answer.
I think you ought to put a Golden Nib 24mm High Mountain White knot in there.
(and then hate the combination and sell it...to me, of course).

Here's a picture of one from about a year ago. Set in a Ralph Lauren Safari handle.

Can these be ordered through instagram? Sorry to go back to earlier in the thread but where can I get a black rubberset?

Been looking at the TGN knots, that could be the one to order!

You'll have to talk to JRod22 about that. It is his set you're looking at. This is MY set:

I should probably retake the picture to include the aftershave, balm, and deodorant too.

That was a mockup/test piece made of plastic. More a proof of concept than anything else. The initial run was ordered through Instagram, future runs will be sold through Etsy.

I believe Dr Dulcamara (not related to the manufacturer under discussion here) is making a new run of his 400 tribute handles in colors, including black. You will have to send him an email to check the status of that project. Here is his webpage:

Am I right in thinking that Instagram only works on Apple products? I've downloaded it to my PC and it does nothing, won't open.

PLANofMAN · Friday August 28, 2015

It works on my Android phone.

And now on my Asus tablet, thanks - but I'll wait till his Etsy shop is open. Apps are so five minute attention span!

That was quick! Are you in the states?

Yes, I am in California.

I ordered a 24mm three band synthetic knot from TGN and will post more pics when it is installed.

I received the knot today and glued it in. It will get its first use tomorrow. I like the way it turned out. [emoji1]

Looks really nice!
Asking as someone who will also plop a knot into his Duvivier brush handle next week do you have any tips for a first-time knot-gluer?

PLANofMAN · Tuesday September 1, 2015

Put newspaper down, and don't get any glue on your clothes.

I just mixed up some two part 5 minute epoxy and slathered it in with a stick. It seems to have worked[emoji3]
It turned out nice and is ready to go.
