Thanks for the heads up. That knot looks really interesting.Another cut above (Chris) on YouTube, whose opinion I value, mentioned this is the best knot he has ever used:

Only a couple $ for shipping, unless you start adding more weight than a knot.
Reviews online match. I'll be ordering one soon.

My main concern is the depth of the hole and I do no want to find out by taking the synth knot out just yet.I have that brush matte black.
I didn't expect to like the knot, but I do. A bit floppy, but it does the job.
The only thing that annoys me is the colour of the knot, I really hate it.
It would look much better if it was one of the black ones.
Anyone reknotted one of these?
Does the synthetic knot come out in one piece?
How deep is the hole?
Yes, you're being too fussy...View attachment 32188
Above is my most recent SOTD pic of the brush.
I had this brush as a gift last August so is a keeper for obvious reasons.
I love the weight of the handle (Heavy) and the plissoft synthetic bristles are wonderfully soft. The brush has decent flow through but perhaps I would like a little more backbone.
That, however is not the real issue. I just do not like the height of the glue bump. It is far too high and as a result it effects the brushes performance IMO.
I am considering buying a new knot for it.
My initial thoughts are a Maseto 24mm in Finest.
I am prepared to take the plunge and re-knot it myself but what are your thoughts gents and can you recommend any other knots for consideration please?
Perhaps I should leave it as it is? What do you think?
Many thanks in advance.

I have to agree, I am a fussy git.Yes, you're being too fussy....
Yes, you are absolutely right in what you say.It's a nice looking brush and hey, if it lathers up the soap that's all you need...no?
Don't really know how to answer that,. I don't have another synthetic to compare it to.My main concern is the depth of the hole and I do no want to find out by taking the synth knot out just yet.
EDIT: one thing I forgot to ask is.
Do you find the glue too high in your knot?
Now why did you show me that picture.I agree that it's a shame they used that knot in such a nice handle.
Next to the yellow RR 400 badger.
