Two Butterscotch Reknots Using Oumo SHD Two Band

[Timwcic]

It been a few years since my last brush reknot. My itch started when I read about the Oumo SHD knots, so the order went in. I got a 24 and 26 two band fan, and when I open the package I was not disappointed. Out if the box they felt soft, dense, nice backbone, small glue bump and no swell. I chose two butterscotch Maid Rite brushes, a #44 and a #53. I have always had my eye on the #44 for reknot. A apple juice and butterscotch Bakelite handle with a hefty 1.5 dia x 2” tall measurement. Breakdown was straight forward, razor to give a haircut and a forstner bit to open up the socket. A few dry fits to get the loft were I like it. I also like a heavy brush, so two quarters went under each knot for weight. The 26 is set for a loft of 48-49mm and the 24 is set at 46-47mm. Lather test next

The texture and look of those handles is beautiful, well done.

Bravo ?

There was a little backbone loss after first test lather and splay, but not much. It still has a stiff feedback with the tips being soft. Being I face lather, so far it has all the backbone I look for and want. All I have done is testing so far, but this knot potentially can compete with any in the den.

Really helps to see the splay after use and how the depth of set affects it.
