Summary
• Synthetic that LOOKS like Pure Badger, but FEELS perfectly soft with natural-feeling backbone

• Sourced from my UK supplier
• Feels in-between G5C and G5A
• Longer than typical short G5 hair, which allows you to customize loft more

Notes

Evidently it’s difficult to follow-up the release of the G5C, which has been my #1 best seller and won an award for best knot of the year a few years back. There haven’t been many fibers I’ve tried since that could contend with it.

Enter the Pure Bliss. What first caught my eye was the natural look—this thing really looks essentially indistinguishable from Pure Badger. However, that’s where the comparison to Pure Badger ends. This knot has wonderfully soft tips. Combine that with solid, natural-feeling backbone and outstanding water retention (I do recommend using much less water than you usually do though - this knot doesn’t need much to get going!) and I feel as though I’ve got something that’s worthy of it’s position alongside the G5A, G5B, G5C lineup.

This knot was sourced with the help of my UK supplier, procuring fibers from Thailand then blending and hand-tying them into a wonderfully balanced knot in his company-owned factory in China. The thicker black fibers contrast the thinner white fibers, which not only adds visual appeal, but also balances the firmness of the backbone.

I truly feel that this is a special addition to my synthetic lineup and I hope you feel the same when you give it a try!

Please note that it can take several shaves to break in the knot. It opens up a bit after this and becomes less firm.

Orgasmic, I'm replacing the G5C with Pure Bliss.

Another Killer Knot from AP!

I just did a test lather w/the brushes I glued up yesterday loaded w/these knots and they are awesome! Every bit as good as the G5A, B or C!

I set the loft at 54mm for a great combo of backbone, flow-through and wow, I am not disappointed!

To me, it’s most similar to the G5A(my favorite knot), but it does have a little better water retention. It whips up a lather just as quick as the G5 knots, but it gets creamier a little faster,IMO.

I didn’t notice a huge difference in the amount of water used to make the lather, (maybe a little less, but not much).

Super soft tips, great backbone, great looks, what’s not to love? If you want another top-notch synthetic knot, here it is, just buy it, I promise you won’t regret it!
