    The evolution of the Brown Tip, is finer and denser.
    BUT, so thin can have some backbone?

    The site explain that setting have to (or must?!) be very short.

    As in the ancient Rome ... Caveat Emptor.
    Anyway, I'm playing with this idea in my mind.
    This is the Sparrow S1 on the Babel handle.

    Looks like a motherlode dyed different colors. Description fits, too

    Nope. Mother Lode is way softer.
    This come from Oumo Tuxedo Smoky fiber.
    But, designed to have double density with the double of hair densely packed and hand-tied.
    Same concept of Wald Shaving ...

    ... with the chinese touch on price. ;)

    After a month of daily use, I realized that Sparrow is a world in its own right.
    The latest generation of synthetics, after Mother Lode. Same sweetness of the tips, the best.
    No whip effect, no glue bubble. Very thin fibers, tied by hand with a unique and very high density.
    Following the concept of Wald, but at human prices. This leads to a massage superior to other synthetics, comparable with an excellent natural Silvertip.
    In practice, I think it is the perfect union of the two worlds. With all the advantages of synthetics, but without the disadvantages of natural.
    With the right setting, on a suitable handle, it can be perfect.

    For me, the Babel handle is nice but uncomfortable.
    Wide section, makes the grip less comfortable.
    But especially the resin is heavy. Much more than wood.
    In fact it weighs more than 50% more than others with similar dimensions:
    • Knot 27mm
    • Loft 50mm
    • Height 115mm
    • Weight 93g
