Just thought I'd share some pics of the modified brush I received a couple weeks ago from Rudy Vey. Like many, I had a Vulfix 404 Grosvenor brush that seemed destined to be modified with a better knot. Not to say I hated the Vulfix mixed knot, but it just seemed like the handle deserved better. I contacted Rudy and asked to have a Shavemac Silvertip knot installed into the handle and I have to say that it turned out great.
There was a bit of a learning curve to reach its full potential (this is my first bulb shaped knot and it's more dense than my other brushes), but I think I'm there now and can fully understand why Shavemac brushes are held in such high regard. This is really a great brush to use with extremely soft tips and not at all floppy.
Knot Specs:
