I finally got the gumption to glue this knot into a handle. I used it for my face and head shave this morning. Loads and whips a lather quickly, I agree with Andrew that these fibers have more backbone than the G5 knots, tons of backbone, this is a knot for bowl-latherers, it has very little splay, but still has super-soft tips. If you’re a bowl latherer though, this is an awesome knot. My first use was today, I just untied the fibers last night, so this knot still needs to fully bloom, but it’s already on of my faves! If you like to get the lather-making out of the way and onto the shave, this is your knot! So far, to me it acts similar to a 24mm Pure Bliss w/more backbone.
