Envy Shave premium brushes

Looks like you will be able to put the knot in and rotate it and find the original orientation of the glued knot. It should almost lock into  place when it's in it's original position. Make sure there aren't multiple positions that it want's to lock into.  Make a note of where that position lines up with the brush so you can repeat it when there is glue in there. If you can't find the original position,  You'll have to make due by adding a bit extra glue and making sure everything is straight,  or send it back to me to repair.

Sand the bottom of the knot. If you can rough up the bottom of hole with a knife or dremel, that's be great too.  No need on trying to remove the old glue, just rough it up. Use 2 part epoxy and place it only on the bottom of the hole. Don't put down a lot of glue,  a dime sized amount is enough, spread it around evenly. remove any excess.  Too much glue will do more harm than good here.   When you put the knot back in place you want to push down on the knot rotate until you feel lock into that original position.

Looks like it was a good fall. The knot plug broke in half as well as the adhesive used to assemble the whole thing. That's impressive!

Hi Nathan,

Yes, it was a good fall from about 6' to a ceramic tile floor - thankfully there appears to be no damage to the tiles. Thanks for the information - I thought I'd wrap the knot in paper then when I find the correct orientation I can make a mark on both the handle and the knot to align quicker on glue up. Do you have any brand recommendations for the epoxy or is it all pretty much the same?

Thanks,
Marko

Wow, Mark, what a bummer.  I hope it can be repaired.

Thanks Freddy , I'm hopeful that I can fix it, its a great brush. I don't know how I could have been so careless. A moment's inattention....

Did it break a tile?

Thankfully it didn't land on your foot!

Both thoughts I had very soon after the fall - fortunately the floor appears ok which is a good thing because we just had the bathroom re-done with new floors (heated) and it wouldn't have been good. That was part of the issue - everything is in new places and I haven't really got comfortable yet. And that brush falling from that height would likely have broken a foot bone if it had hit it the right way or the wrong way I guess. Thanks, we'll see what I can accomplish on the repair.

And it happens to us all at one time or another.  Good luck with that repair.

No brand in particular, Just use a well know brand. I'd definately stay away from Harbor freight or a discount store with older inventory. Loctite, or devcon would be easy to find safe bets.

Thanks again Nathan, I'm looking forward to getting the brush back in service. I found a small dent on the handle and it seems that the impact was absorbed close to the edge of the knot end where the handle is hollow to receive the knot so the force was transferred right to the plastic knot base. I suppose it could have been worse.

Well well, look who's back in town  After only 5 1/2 months of procrastinating my beautiful EnvyShave DFS Limited Edition Brush is back in service.  I repaired it yesterday and I used it this morning to lather some nice Wholly Kaw Fougere Bouquet.  Its a great brush and such a nice knot too.  Thanks for the tips Nathan.

Enjoy the heck out of it!

Beautiful brush. Debating a red handle like this with an Envy White before the 2018 sabbatical is upon me.

Do it. That would be very cool.
