Somewhat out of sequence. The Blobby1 now reside with Glen and the B2 (Drubbings Semoque re-knot) is still in the making and the B3, by far the easier of the three, has jumped the queue.
Before and after shots. Decided to keep the brass ring because it just looks good on this one. Had to pay the price though because it meant reducing the actual size of the knot to make it fit. Lost about 10% of the hair and it looks more like a fan than the original bulb. Also decided for once to set the knot taking looks into account rather than my usual stumpy efforts to get a nice short face lathering job. Initially I thought that was a really bad idea as the knot is not really that dense and I was seriously dissapointed after the first couple of uses. However, now it's broken in it's turned in to really nice brush and I'm finding it hard to put it down in favour of another (always a good sign). The knot is an 18mm TGN Silvertip Grade A reduced to 17mm. Still would ahve preferred a bit more density but it works like a champ, is really soft and has more backbone than you'd give it credit for.
