I’m curious about experiences, and if you have comparisons with other badger knots I might know (such as Declaration B3, B7, B16, Maggard SHD, Maggard Silvertip, Zenith Manchurian, AP Shave Co Gelousy), even better!

    It’s just a shame that most of their knots are so tiny! 21 mm wouldn’t fit well for my needs

    The nod seems to fan out just like Semogue brushes. The 610 is a 21mm knot, and the C3s have a 22mm knot. For face shaving, this is amply sufficient - I guess for the dome, it might be a bit small 😭

      Unfortunately I also never had any Semogue brush, but I fully trust your word. I believe the animal hair fibers would be able to “fluff out” so to speak (blooming?), but that’s not something I’d expect to be possible from synthetic fibre.

      Side note, Fan or Flattop knots really rock for head shaving. It’s a shame that not many face shavers seem to appreciate them, so they aren’t widely available. Andrew from AP Shave Co. seems to be one of the only artisans who even does synthetic fan knots.
