Surrey Reknot

I received this Surrey brush from Perry in Alabama for a reknot. 

I removed the knot and cleaned out the hole to prepare it for the new knot.

I ordered three two-band badgers from Ace Shaving in China. They came in today, so I chose the best of the three to put in the handle.

After preparing the handle and dry fitting the knot this is what I had.

I decided to set the knot with silicone. Here it is in its new home: the Surrey Reknot.

Update: Sunday, February 19, First Lathering

Loaded for 30 seconds.

Building the lather

Got some pretty nice lather.

All done. Time to bloom.

Blooming complete.
