A couple more brushes finished all tuxedo knots, I was really shocked with the different quality of knots from different manufacturers, I have got samples from all the main players in brush knots, some are crap whilst some are just ok, standouts for me for synthetic, are apshaveco in Canada, and for badger (silvertip) it is the golden nib (usa), I was amazed at the difference considering they are all made in China! Has anyone else found this? What do people like in terms of knot, I tend to lean more towards larger synthetics now but I have a couple of high end badger brushes that come out at least once a week.
Here are some pics of finished brushes,knots, and my own cast alumilite blanks.
