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!

    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.
