Nice but very soft I want to try a different handle and knot from AP

I paired the handle with a 26mm Cashmere knot and it's a great combo in my eyes. I love the rounded base, makes it easy to hold the brush since I have arthritis in my thumbs. As always AP Shave has great choices in handles.

Superbe poignée aux reflets jaunes et mauves. Touffe très douce avec ce qu'il faut de ressort. Splendide brosse. Très content de mon achat sur ce site sérieux. A recommander.

I'm so happy with the two brushes I ordered. They both have the same handle, which is the stunning gold flakes handle, and two different knots (both synthetic). I cannot recommend them enough. The handle is big, very ergonomic, good to handle, easy to maneuver, and the knot is so soft and gentle to the touch! I couldn't be more thrilled with AP Brushes! Highly recommend them!

I use nothing but synthetics, tried em all and this is by far my favorite (sorry G5C!). It's a matter of preference but this one is not super dense, not super strong back bone and very very luxurious feeling. It's the synthetic version of a silvertip badger knot, which I personally prefer over the SHD gelly badgers (which the G5C is akin to). Handle is sturdy and has awesome grip, very happy with my purchase!

I like taller handles (this is 72mm) as I mostly bowl lather. This custom briar acrylic is perfect paired with a 26m Titanium bulb knot. More backbone than the MiG or G5C knots but not overly so. Lathers well and has a moderately scrubby feel on the face. Andrew's service as usual is exemplary!

I have come to absolutely love the Synbad knot and I have found the best ones come from AP Shave Co.. I have 26mm bulb and fan Synbad's, as well as the 24mm bulb knots. AP Shave Co.'s service and product are unbeatable and the Synbad knot is the best I have ever used and I have used them all. I much prefer the Synbad over any Badger or Boar knot made.

I was a bit worried about this purchase because I had a knot in another brush with the same fiber and it was so much scratch and backbone I ended up using it to scrub pans with. However, this knot is softer and the splay is much better. Set the loft as high as possible and you’ll get great splay and backbone and comfort. 10/10 will recommend

There has been talk of knots that behave as if they were made form actual animal hair.
The talk is officially over, the package has dropped an it was made in Japan.

This wonderful know acts, retains water, and looks as if it is made of high quality badger, but the price, drying time and performance-for-price are beyond compare.
It whips up a lather with the greatest of ease and on top of my True Blood handle, it's the best best-looking and best performing brush I own.

Dense, pretty to look at, stiff but never rigid backbone, and so smooth and soft on the skin.
Superb flow-through as well as water retention.

Think twice before ordering any animal hair knots from thispoint on, the tech is here.

I ordered in the EU, paid customs tax, and regret nothing.
Get one, yesterday. In fact, get two. I know I will.

100% will buy again, keep up the amazing work.-

This is by far the best handle of any of my shaving brushes.
The quality of work, the ergonomics and the colours leave absolutely nothing to be desired.

It's beyond pretty to look at and it feels great it the hand. I feel like it was designed especially for me.

The weight is just right, not too heavy but not light at all. It works and looks amazing with the 26mm G5C knot.
It's my current favourite, and I own quire a few.

The very definition of how shaving brush handles should be made, today.
I kept lurking the handle drops until I found one I liked and I would even pay double the price, it's this good.

Well done, indeed!

Really good knot, it's shortish loft and bulb shape delivering noticeably more backbone than the fan or hybrid varient but still Silky soft in the tips.

I've been using this knot for a year now and have zero complaints. It's my first shaving brush, so I don't have anything to compare it to except my expectations, but it fulfilled those completely: it's soft but with what seems like a perfect balance of backbone and splay, plus it looks great. I use the Stirling collapsible silicone shaving bowl (which is just a slow-feeding dog bowl that you can find for 3$) and it lathers up nicely in 15 seconds.
I would absolutely recommend this knot!

excellente brosse et bien assemblée, je recommande.

I am really enjoying this knot. It has all the best features of a high quality badger knot with the all the best qualities of an excellent grade synthetic. If you are an animal hair user and want to explore synthetics. Then take a look at this. I will happily recommend this to anyone. Thanks again AP for a good knot.

Love this knot!!
Went with andrews reccommendations and set it at 12mm as suggested and its perfect!!
If you like backbone, on top of super soft bristles, that also splays, this is the knot!!!
Not really sure what the other complaining review was, I wring out every knot before loading then, add water after the first application for that marshmallow lather.
The first time I used it, it did have some spring and flung the lather around a bit, but the second shave it was gone!
So this is the unicorn knot in my opinion and the best I've tried so far!
Thank you Andrew for your help and guidance in setting a knot,
as well as the networking you do to bring the best possible products to your customers!!
Thanks again Andrew,
Happy shaves, all!
