I am afraid they have gone the way of shave jelly.
Vie-Long?I have one of the Cremo Horse Hair brushes and its a fairly good brush.. decent splay to backbone ratio... I use it quite often.. Pretty good for bowl or face lathering.
So the ring (making it act like it was set deeper) helped it perform better? I did the same with my cool custom brush, I wrapped cotton string i had coated in talc powder around the base then dripped super glue onto the string to make it hard. I was able to add about as much simulated depth as the band you added but it didn't help my knot. It could be my knot was just not as dense or well made as the one i your picture. Via-Long has been known for their equine brushes, they can't ALL be terrible ...but I THINK they are.View attachment 43098
To be fair I added the rubber ring , but after that its been a great brush..

notice the letter color is different between mine and the one you pictured.. I bought mine within the last year or 2.. I had heard that the one with Cremo in black lettering is supposed to be better. So I guess I got lucky..Where did you get one that doesn't say Vie Long?
