Andrew's Notes: This 37% Plant Based Fiber has more softness and less backbone than the original STF. It retains water more and is a bit slower to dry. For more backbone with the 37% Plant Based Fiber - try this Dense++ edition

The Mühle STF with 20% Extra Density - This is Dense++

Now even more sustainable: Say hello to Sorona®

In the spirit of sustainability, Mühle are now using a plant-based fibre to mix their premium brush fibres. This eco-efficient fibre consists of 37% renewable, plant-based raw materials and impresses with its durability, flexibility, and high volume. At the same time, the production of this revolutionary polymer requires 30% less energy and emits 63% fewer greenhouse gases than the production of conventional synthetic fibres. I'm happy to support Mühle in their effort towards sustainability and I hope that you join me!

A premium hair grade, this synthetic brush consists of seven different types of Fiber, varying in thickness and length. This variation allows for a brush head that, without compromising on backbone, is uniquely soft and easy to manage.

Tied by hand, the Silvertip Fiber was created to provide a completely vegan, and lower maintenance product that would emulate all the benefits of a premium natural hair brush head.

Easy to care for and easy to use, the Silvertip Fiber brush still produces a thick and creamy lather from small amounts of shaving soap and cream. Unlike natural hair, however, the Silvertip Fiber brush is somewhat more stable and resistant to daily wear. A little more forgiving in its maintenance, the Silvertip Fiber brush dries quickly and is more resistant to shaving soaps and creams.

Durable but suitable for even the most sensitive of skin types, Silvertip Fiber is uniquely soft at its fine tips, guaranteeing a gentle and pleasant experience, without compromising on the desired backbone of a quality brush head.

NOTE: GLUE BASE (THAT INCASED IN PLASTIC COVER) IS MUCH BIGGER THAN STANDARD KNOTS. It is about 14mm tall. 

Loft without base: 55mm (approx.)

Total Height with Base: 69mm

Maybe as good?

23mm is where it is at!
This is my first of the new Muhle plant based STF knots. I cannot say if I like it as much as the original STF? It definitely benefits from some break in time. I have maybe 15 shaves on it and it has improved greatly. To be fair, it was never bad. I find the original STF is good to go in maybe 5 shaves. The plant based version does take slightly (barely) longer to dry. It still gives up lather well. Minimal loading still gets me 3 passes and a little cleanup with little to no residual lather in the knot... perfect. All in all it is good. About the only con is petty and I think does not affect performance. When you squeeze the knot, the fibres kind of... grate?... grind?... rub?... against each other. Different, but not a problem. Also the knot is a little shaggy, a little non uniform in length, with some outer fibers being longer than the central fibers. Not a problem, just an observation.
I will say ABSOLUTELY GET THE EXTRA DENSE VARIANT!
As always Andrew is a pleasure to deal with!

Nice one

Really like the bigger glue base. Fits perfect in my handles. Much better than the standard knots.
The knot works great and the eco-efficient part is a big +.
I can't say much more positive about this knot than what Andrew describes on the site.
Buy it and try it , you won't be disappointed.
