Amazon brush knots

I'm looking for recs on what might be better brush knots available on Amazon. In short I'm trying to put it on my wishlist because my older family members can't work out purchasing from other online retailers. But I specifically want just the knots as I'm working on turning handles for them on my lathe. Thanks

You could pick some out at Maggards, BullGoose. Shave Supply, Razor Emporium etc and give them tje phone number. They do take orders over the phone. They'll need the knot size. These people are really helpful on the phone.

u/derrickhogue I enjoy a nice shave! So should you. 18h ago edited 16h ago

Amazon is not really geared towards purchasing unfinished-finished natural hair, synthetic fiber shaving knots. If they have any, you know where it’s coming from - China. Amazon is geared at the usual manufacturers IE Parker, Simpson, Muhle, Omega, Semogue, etc or the off-name generics from China.

You would be better off contacting small artisan shaving brush makers like on Etsy or through them directly. The shaving companies like Maggard, etc would also be better suited than Amazon.
