The best knot i may have, may be my least inexpensive. Thr FS silvertip I ordered from ebay for like 4 bucks, hasn't lost any hair and seems like gel tips to me. Sometimes we just luck into things.
Shaving this guy might be a wee bit of an hassle, but think of your feelings of accomplishment afterward! Well, if you live, that is.
4 waa for product, shipping added some, i got 2 brushes+ shipping for 18 and change. I think the shipping was 11bucks. I dont remember, point is they where two FS very cheaply, less than 20. FS brush knots can be very good or shedders, hope they resolved whatever issues they had. The last one has been fabulous for me.
