In researching this brush I knew I wanted a high quality synthetic knot that would deliver but you would not need to baby. I mean, The Green Ray is a looker, you are gonna want to take this with you everywhere and by using a durable synthetic knot you are able to do this worry free...\u003cem\u003ebut once again, I am getting ahead of myself!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's pretty safe to say that Synth knots have really come a long way and have really made some strides in their overall feel and performance in the past few years. There are so many great options now available. Truly it is a shave new world in that respect. But I wanted The BEST and knew I would have to dig...so I bought one of all the market had to offer and took many a poll in the forums. [Some of you may have seen these polls and even participated. If so thanks, your feedback was excellent!]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI mounted each of these different synth knots in ferrules for my Switchback 400 and hung with each one for a few days. Whenever anyone visited the shop I'd whip out the knots and ask for their opinion as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTest knots consisted of bulbs and fans.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEventually I stumbled upon two of the Tribble Synth specimens, one Fan \u0026amp; one Bulb. It was a tough call, so much so I reached out to the manufacturer and asked that they create a hybrid of the two for me to test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOOM,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebest of both worlds! The new hybrid rated higher than all the other knots by a huge margin. In short, it checked all the boxes: Super Soft tips, just the right amount of backbone, a fanning splay yet retained some punchiness, reminiscent of a horse hair knot but didn't tangle, great face latherer and great in a bowl or scuttle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA really classy, bitch'n piece of shave tech for sure!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox.
