My Oumo knots order from AliExpress arrived today.
I think I did all the possible combinations for these knots and handles without putting the synthetic in the horn handle. Although it actually looks good in the horn I just can't bring myself to put a synthetic knot in the horn. It just seems wrong. The 3 knots are 24mm and are a boar, a horse and a synthetic.
The last picture is of a 30mm Boar in the other horn and wood handle. None of them are glued in yet. I look forward to getting them glued up and trying them out once I can decide which belongs where.
So what do you guys think.

Most definitely "D". The synthetic with the white top looks like a dust brush that you would use for a camera or a scope. The horse hair goes well with horn. I mean horses - cowboys - cows/bulls. Then the boars hair is stiff and ruff and the brass/copper pipe is hard and very industrial. I also like that there is a hint or just a little solder sticking out of the joint of the two pieces. Any of the three I would be proud to own.
Damn you. Now I'm going to start looking at what I can turn into shaving brushes.
