A couple of weeks ago I bought this brush from West Coast Shaving with the hopes that I would be able to pull the synthetic knot and use it in another handle that I have. I steamed the brush and when I went to pull out the knot the bristles came out but the glue plug stayed in the handle. So with the synthetic knot ruined I decided to get an Omega 10049 to sacrifice for the knot and set it into this brush. I don't know if you can see from the third photo but the ends of the bristles came with a good amount of splitting already. Have any of you seen this on a new Omega brush before ? Before: After:

I habe not had near the experience with thsee kind of things. I will say that the brush looks good and leave it to those that are more experienced than I.
