I use ones with similar knots in my regular seven day rotation of brushes - pretty sure it will be fine
Great pickups Gentlemen. I just love those Butterscotch Simpson's.
Got these a while ago, but one of the few real older handles, one I would call vintage, other one I wouldn't call vintage yet, but I still have them in the collection and still among my favorites

That M6 is gorgeous!
That Astor is one of the new, limited run batches that Mark did, right?
The Astor I have wasn't from that bunch of old stock handles Mark found last year (I think that's when I remember reading it) mine was bought 3 years ago from a vendor liquidating his inventory and found this in his desk without box... Was really a 'at the right time and right place moment' so this was from when the Astor was in production

A pickup at my local junk shop. I was not expecting to find these.
Keyhole 3 and AS2M.
Both in great shape but shedding a bit.

Nice junk shops where you live! I'd love to have found those beauties, congrats.
Not all vintage, but all delicious!

AS4M for your viewing pleasure
It WAS a pleasure - very nice!
Yesterday i made a stop in a local antique shop and found something pleasant. Living in the West coast of The US I never expected to find something like it in the wild, but here it is! one of my white whales, a wild caught Simpsons brush. It looks like a KH1 to my untrained eye, though initially i was curious why i couldn't find anything on google looking up K47.
I believe I can contribute to this thread with something a bit unusual - a Somerset vintage horn Simpson, according to a fellow wetshaver it predates 1941. A couple pics:

WOW, now if I had a brush like that I think I would join a monastery and just shave and make lather all day
