Hello, I purchased Andrew's 28 mm G5C knot, initially set at 52 mm. As a new wetshaver exploring different brush backbones, I found the bristles to be exceptionally soft with a noticeable scritch. However, despite my preference for face lathering and a brush with splay, I discovered that this brush had more backbone than desired. Achieving splay, especially on my cheeks, required considerable force, and I often had to splay from outside the center. It seems more suitable for those who prefer paint brush strokes or bowl lathering. Personally, I didn't develop a strong liking for it and later opted for a Trafalgar T3 with a similar backbone but easier splay.
I must commend Andrew's excellent customer service. He was responsive and answered all my inquiries. I look forward to making more purchases from him in the future.
