This knot is excellent because it splays easily and holds plenty of lather. It might seem a little floppy at first, but once loaded and filled with lather, I can barely feel the bristles while face-lathering. In fact, the bristles splay so well and push the lather onto the face such that it feels as though the brush knot is made entirely of lather and not bristles!
Unfortunately, there is just one minor issue. I have two of these knots and both have that same issue, which is that the knot sheds a bristle on average during each use. I bought the first knot here several years ago and it still sheds. If the manufacturer can fix the problem by gluing the bristles better, I think that should solve the issue with shedding. Still, considering how good it feels while face-lathering, this 24mm flat top is a knot I would buy again.
