I bought this primarily for use traveling on the recommendation of a friend. It splays nicely, and has good backbone. The tips are quite soft though not quite as soft as my best badger. But the slightly stiffer feel of the tips ensures my face gets that scrubby sensation that allows my soap to feel like it gets into the pores. It fits perfectly into the 26mm rubber collet of my Timeless adjustable brush handle. I find that I alternate using this knot with my best badger knot every other day just because I enjoy the different sensation that each knot provides.
Hard for me to pick just one. I own several of these knots and brushes and all provide fantastic shaving experiences. This vendor responds to all my emails. Overall, an excellent experience which is why I keep coming back! I would recommend APSHAVECO wholeheartedly.
I used an Amazon "badger" brush when I started 6 months ago. Now this brush is like not even on the same planet. Richer lather, closer shave, way less razor burn. 3 passes no problem now. It has a high quality look and feel, the synthetic bristles actually dry between shaves. No noticeable shedding at all. Amazing 10/10.
A solid product from a solid merchant who is very responsive. My experience from beginning to end was 100%. These brushes are true game changers for me. I would recommend wholeheartedly!
I do face lathering and thought my Noir Plissoft brush was the best for the job. Needed a small one for traveling and this one is next level brush; it's has more backbone, but feels incledible soft against my face. It would develop a lather very quickly with less soap loaded on it.
Really impressive.
Really like the bigger glue base. Fits perfect in my handles. Much better than the standard knots.
The knot works great and the eco-efficient part is a big +.
I can't say much more positive about this knot than what Andrew describes on the site.
Buy it and try it , you won't be disappointed.
Incredible brush / knot. I’m convinced it might be the best synthetic on the market. Feels every bit like a natural hair brush from a comfort perspective all while splaying with ease and holding / realizing lather exceptionally well. It still provides enough backbone to give a scrub but is not at all scritchy or bouncy. I find these knots run small when compared to other synthetics on the market. 23mm will feel a bit more like a 22mm and if you’re looking to have good control and face application of lather, this knot is a wonderful size. Highly recommend!
