The AP Shave Co. MiG knot (26 mm) has been a pleasant surprise—fully broken in after about ten shaves, with not a single hair shed in a month of use. The tips are very soft, and it effortlessly and comfortably builds lather directly on the face. It offers an excellent balance of density and backbone, and its ability to hold and distribute water makes it a real joy for daily use.

Very soft easy to splay . Barely any scrub which is perfect for sensitive face.

This brush is fantastic! I’ve heard so many great things about the STF, so I had to give it a try, and I don’t regret it at all. It splays very easily, and the water retention is amazing. Initially, I thought it trapped too much water in the knot, but after some time, I got used to it. The handle is a true work of art and has a very good grip for my hands. Overall, I genuinely enjoy picking this brush up each morning.

The G5A knots are the best all around synthetic knot I have used. No break in, soft with enough backbone for any soap. Releases the lather easily. I can’t say enough positives about this knot.

This handle is amazing and i love tje knot

This is my first synthetic shave brush and I've been very impressed with it. It's nice not having to soak it before use like is necessary with my natural fiber brushes. It's built fantastic lather quickly with any shave soap I've used it for and feels great on my face. When I first got it I was surprised by the weight of it, but after using it for a month that substantial heft actually feels great in the hand as well

I re-knotted a vintage Ever-Ready N500 With the 24mm Synbad. And I'm loving it. The lather was "Whipcreamy" and was enough to do a 3+ paces (head and face shave).

Looking forward to try other knots from AP.

Starting the day with this handsome handle and Synbad brush kit is terrific. The handle’s rustic brown color is very homey. Its relatively large size feels very good in my hand. Pairing it with a smooth Synbad knot quickly produces great lather. Being retired, I may not shave first thing in the morning, but when I get to it, this kit produces a very satisfying shave and zen-like feeling to launch the rest of the day. I smile even now when thinking about it.

I don't see a single scratch, chip, or dent on this handle. It's absolutely beautiful. The brush it's apart of is the coolest looking one out of the bunch.

Been wanting to try this flat shape. Not what I thought but a great product and service. Getting to order again. My new ..go to.. store.

I find that badger brushes hold a lot of lather yet not much scrub. Boar brushes have a great scrub yet not a lot of capacity for lather. This brush is the closest to being perfect of both attributes. Amazing knot, easy to use, lathers up every soap that I have used it on with no issues. Surely one of my top 5 favorite knots. Probably my favorite. Worth the money and would recommend this knot without hesitation.

Handle was well made with good weight.

Great synrhetic knot. Just as good as natural hair brushes, maybe better in some ways.

Nice and chubby handle. Pairs well with a Tuxedo knot.
