I was recommended this brush by a reviewer and I was not disappointed.

Top quality and rock bottom prices!

Beautiful handle, by far my favorite brush. The G5C knot is super soft with plenty of backbone, I love it. Can't wait to try out the other knots that are available. Highly recommended.

The dark abalone is beautiful. Excellent craftsmanship. Paired with the G5C knot, it makes a wonderful brush.

Andrew really knows what he is doing

Love my handle

Andrew put this together with a small handle as a request for a face washing brush, None of the OTC face cleaners made any lather and marginally worked. So I made a mixture of a artisan shave soap makers facial soap and a little sheep tallow shaving soap for my nightly cleanse. started with a boar brush which was too scratchy, Andrew actually took some time to help me out with knot selection and built a brush. Not I have no ingrown hairs , no bumps and the wife says my face is smoother than hers. she also says I primp more. I'm gonna buy more knots and put them in my friends favorite toys. baseball bat handle, elk antler, duck call and a putter.

I have been looking for a synthetic that mimics by Best Badger knot, specifically for traveling. I bought a G5 C from Andrew and it is good. But it lacked just a bit of backbone for my taste. When Andrew offered this knot, and praised it enthusiastically I thought, why not? He was right. The tips are soft but the backbone is strong enough not to splay to the point of having nothing to spread on my face. And as it is a synthetic, it dries quickly. I just returned from Hawaii and despite the humidity it dried as quickly as it does at home. A great addition to anyone's knot collection.

Quite pleased with this brush. The Honeycomb gloss yellow colour looks elegant, and the beehive bulb shape is pleasant to hold. The bristles have an excellent combination of backbone and soft tips, making this G5C fibre one of my best synthetics. This has moved to the top in my daily rotation of brush choices. Well done.

This has quickly become my preferred shave brush. Purchased it because I wanted a handle that tapers near the bottom (rather than in the middle), but what I ended up liking most is the knot. The 24mm SynBad has an almost perfect combination of flexibility and backbone. It's already given me some outstanding shaves.

23mm is where it is at!
This is my first of the new Muhle plant based STF knots. I cannot say if I like it as much as the original STF? It definitely benefits from some break in time. I have maybe 15 shaves on it and it has improved greatly. To be fair, it was never bad. I find the original STF is good to go in maybe 5 shaves. The plant based version does take slightly (barely) longer to dry. It still gives up lather well. Minimal loading still gets me 3 passes and a little cleanup with little to no residual lather in the knot... perfect. All in all it is good. About the only con is petty and I think does not affect performance. When you squeeze the knot, the fibres kind of... grate?... grind?... rub?... against each other. Different, but not a problem. Also the knot is a little shaggy, a little non uniform in length, with some outer fibers being longer than the central fibers. Not a problem, just an observation.
I will say ABSOLUTELY GET THE EXTRA DENSE VARIANT!
As always Andrew is a pleasure to deal with!

Great brush, excellent service

It took around 3 weeks for my order to arrive, Amber handle with a 54mm g5c knot and Andrew's loft recommendation. Completely understandable when I ordered near Christmas and internationally. Shipping to the UK was also very reasonable!
Super happy with the brush, the handle feels excellent quality and very comfortable to hold. Very pretty to look at too!
The knot is excellent and exactly what I was after, a synthetic brush that was soft on the skin with good splay but would load up and lather excellently. Really can't fault it, excellent value for money!

I was looking for a smaller handle who could fit a 26mm Synbad knot for travel and this one is perfect.

It’s the only knot I have/use and have no need for another. The G5C is amazing!
I highly recommend this knot. Thanks AP Shaveco!
