You could always go for a re-knot, it isn't hard

Already reknotted 2 brushes with LotusTip knots. I'm holding off on a third for now

I was thinking the very same thing when looking at the pic.

What do you think of the LotusTip knots?

I've re-knotted a handle with a Gel tip and didn't really like it that much.

Cheers, it's a custom one made by Irish of Forgotten Arts, who isn't turning anymore

I like them, I had a TF Custom and a Billy Goat Brushworks reknotted with a Lotus Tip fan. I did the BG myself and it has more loft and splay than the TF, but both are excellent knots. Need to load them heavy though as they are lather hogs. Need to break them in too, but doesn't take long

I had guessed as much (those characteristic tipped-over ridges of his are a dead giveaway) hence my suggestion of the re-knot

Mmmmmm, Lotus Tip Oumo's, 24 & 28mm bulbs.
Beautiful!

It's my first custom brush, it won't be going anywhere. Same with the bowl of his. Maybe we should start a Forgotten Art thread, be cool to see some of his brushes and bowls being shown off

Gimme a fan any day What's the "Special" about?

Dunno, more special than "ordinary" maybe??? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ , They wrote it, not me.
Good fans are a bit hard to get at the moment, but bulbs are plentiful, right now at least.

Not a bad donga shave!

Good idea. It's never easy to get good pictures of his brushes, but it's worth a try.

@Mark1966 - had a bit of time up my sleeve (nightlife not exactly lively out here), so went the hot towel prep.
