Turn N Shave (www.etsy.com/s...) will be releasing their own hand tied knot on October 8, 2020 at 6PM CT. The knot is 2 years in the making, as Milton, the owner/operator has been learning the art of hand tying badger knots for the past 24 months. 11 limited edition brushes will be available for purchase with this batch, each of which is turned in Galaxy resin and with the Inception shape. Additionally, each brush will come with a custom handmade boxes and care card, listing the batch, brush dimension, handle shape and other details. For this release knot sizes will be 26mm or 28mm. There will also be an option to join the waiting list if you happen to miss out on the offering.
M1, which stands for batch 1 in terms of the sourced badger hair features ultra-soft tips that exhibit an amazing gel like feel with huge clumps of hair. The M1 knot is the most dense knot that I have ever seen or used. The hair fiber, coupled with the knots density makes for a stiffness and splay that is on the firmer side, and suits my preference for backbone. The backbone is stiff but not in a scrubby way. This M1 knot happens to be the 28mm variant and the splay and coverage are as good as you can get in such a densely packed knot. Despite the super high density of badger hair, the knot still has very good flow through and will not hog your lather. The Inception handle is beautiful and feels excellent in the hand. It is tall enough for a full grip and the circumference of the handle will suit most hands well.
In terms of face feel, the M1 knot elevates the game for ultra-premium knots. This knot is pure luxury, with an amazingly soft and pillow feel at the tips. The density of the knot creates a wonderful backbone for the gel tips to ride across and really helps pick up the proper amount of soap to lather. This knot works well in terms of swirling, scrubbing and painting lather onto your skin. Because of the coverage area, I have found this brush to be very versatile for both face and dome lathering.
The M1 knot presents yet another U.S.A. made option in the growing hand tied knot market. The quality and craftsmanship of this knot exceed all expectations and should immediately be considered when seeking out an ultra-premium knot.
