    that are in need of new knots. I prefer synthetics but there are so many different kinds I'm not sure which way to go. I do like a Plisson type knot for reference.

    Any ideas folks?? I would appreciate your input

    I get most of my synthetics from Maggard Razors. They have a big variety, and they all work very well for me. It is a matter mostly of esthetics, what looks good with your handle.

    Thanks for the replies. I know that some knots are softer than others, some splay better, etc. That's kinda what I would like to know.

    Any further comments?

    APShave also has very nice synthetic knots. He can be found on Etsy.

    Tuxedo knots do seem to have better backbone than ordinary synthetics.

    I've tried many synthetic knots and really like the Cashmere and 2BED from APShave.
