Where to get a boar knot

[Merkurologist]

I'm planning to re-knot a couple of brushes and I will do one with a boar knot.... I just need to find out where to get one hopefully in the UK.

Get an Omega brush from Connaught removing knot is one option but with knot placed in black plastic cup for example a 27 mm knot needs a 31 or maybe 32 mm hole in new handle.

This is something that I need to figure out before I order the knots. My brush currently has a 24mm knot and I thought a new 24mm knot would fit..... I guess it's a bit more complicated

Anyone tested removing plastic cup from Omega knot? Easy? Risk damaging knot?

I've done it twice, once out of the plastic handle I used a multi tool with a small cutting disc and very carefully cut through making four cuts and rip the plastic cup off. It's an easy enough job. P.

Good to hear that it can be done without a shedding disaster.

It's easy enough, just like shaving, use a light hand and take of a little at a time P.
