Aluminum travel brush knot removal

I have an Edwin Jagger aluminum travel brush in pure badger. It is the floppiest brush I've ever used but I like the 3-piece design and I'd like to replace the knot if possible. Is the process used for a normal shaving brush applicable to this brush as well?

Pictures may help us with our response.

knot removal should be the same but pics or it did not happen

Pics would be helpful, since some of the travel brushes don't allow for a deeply set knot.

this is the brush... not sure if there will be complications due to the knot being enclosed in the aluminum plug.

my ipad isn't letting me upload photos right now...

That's going to be a problem since there just isn't much roo for the knot. Probably why the knot is floppy to begin with. IIRC, TGN offers, or at least used to, some shorter lofted knots that might work. Worth checking out.

If you do reknot, that is one handle that should stand up to steam without damage.

There's an ebay vendor (aceshaving) that has some 50mm loft knots. They have a diameter of 20mm.

I think there's also a Silvertip version.

The knot will come out the same as other handles, just make sure to take your time and be careful not to punch through the bottom of the plug and you'll be fine.
Here's a similar style vintage travel brush I restored.

You shouldn't have a problem if you do it the normal way, only be carefully when picking up the brush, use a damp towel
