In one word, Awesome! This knot is incredible for the price. It makes any of my handcrafted handles instantly into a high end, wet shaving tool. The look is very professional, the tips are soft, and set into the handle approximately 14mm the backbone is perfect. Lathers fast and holds just the right amount of water to get you on your way to the perfect shave. I recently switched from hobby brush maker to selling to friends, to having multiple locations showcasing my work, and I use this knot for all my badger brushes. The 22mm knot size complements any handcrafted handle and holds the perfect amount of lather. I highly recommend this knot for personal use as well as those looking to create multiple handcrafted brushes for hobby and/or business.
