The original owner of the Archduke set the loft at 50mm - which found a bit (or two bits) too low.  Was going to replace the knot with one from MS but when pulled the Manchurian it was really high quality and went a long way into the handle.  So dropped a few large coins into the handle and voila - a much improved pleasant lather applying machine.  Now have a 30mm knot looking for a home . . .

Lovely colours!

Did you steam the knot to extricate it from the handle? If you did, then you are a brave man.

Thanks Celestino . . . got lucky - would you believe vice grips (with rounded jaws) and twist? Not likely to be successful next time - with epoxy that also use on golf clubs.
