The 26mm G5C Premium Synthetic knot I ordered arrived several days before I expected it to. This thing is perfect for face lathering. It loads quickly and splays out on your face with just the right amount of stiffness, whips up an impressive lather in seconds with every soap I've tried it with, and easily holds enough soap for a 3-pass shave plus clean-up without having to load again. In the time I've had it, it's shed all of one bristle. I'm seriously considering buying another just in case something happens to this one.
This is definitely one of the best synthetic knots on the market. I own about five or six of them at this point.
I got a 24mm SynBad Fan knot. I primarily face/head lather and am a Arko fan, using it in stick form. For that, it's a great knot. And it's very gentle on my sensitive skin. But it is not a Jack of all trades, and you should make a different selection if you puck load or like some scrub.
My only complaint is that it's a HUGE lather hog. I have never met a greedier brush.
Incredibly soft while still feeling like I am getting a nice scrub while I lather
I love the look of this brush and the knot is awesome! Just enough scratch yet soft also. I'd always recommend AP Shave Co for all your brush needs.
