What to do with my Chubby 2 - 2 Band butterscotch brush

[inspectoring]

Hi - I have a barely used - Simpson 2 band - butterscotch brush.
I love the know but dislike the handle - too small for my hands.

Two choices I have are - sell it or send it to Rudy and have him transplant the known to a handle of my liking.

I suggest you sell the brush on BST, then contact Rudy to make a brush to your specifications,

@BigJ for the win!

I have not done any business with @Rudy Vey personally but he has a fantastic reputation on this forum, so my suggestion is to include him in this process.

The legendary chubby 2 should not be broken up. Sell it to someone who would appreciate it as is

Sell it in the BST and let another member have the pleasure of using it.

Choice #3: Sell it and have Rudy make something to your taste.

Removing and reusing a knot is asking for trouble.

so consensus seems to be selling it - any idea where I can find similar dense knots ?

I have read that while shavemac makes excellent knots - the knot lacks density

I have a Shavemac D01 Silvertip 24/50 that is denser than my Chubby2 2 band.

I can post pics tomorrow if you like.

@dmshaver has a 26mm D01 Silvertip in a Rudy Vey polo style handle.

So Many Blades to Try

Thank you - I would hate the idea to trouble you - I will reach out to Rudy and see if I can just deal with him
