Hey Gents, check this out. Stirling Soap has just released their 26mm Plisson brush for an introductory price of $19.95 http://www.stirlingsoap.com/synthetic-shave-brush-26mm/ Look at this, https://www.reddit.com/r/Shave_Bazaar/comments/3difsb/vendor_stirling_synthetic_brush_26_mm_knot/
I saw that too, but I'm curious what made you think it's a Plisson knot. I haven't seen that anywhere. The website just says synthetic. That could be any number of different knots.
It looks exactly like it. ChiseledFace and other people did a huge group buy of 24mms and 28mm Plisson knots. It only makes sense that this is the same knot. Does some other manufacturer make an identical knot?

I wanted a synthetic, as I don't have one. Looks like a good knot, whatever its source and its cheep. Plus I'm always ragging on Sterling soap, so this is a way for me to support a friendly vendor.
Looks like the same yellow fibers, wonder if soft and fluffy like the Plisson original. I have two 25mm handles needing knots so may be worth the buy to pull the knot.
Nice. Looks like Rod confirmed directly. At that price I probably would have picked one up, but I just placed an order for a Whipped Dog 30mm synthetic.
I had a 24mm WD Synthetic and it was too springy and not enough splaying for me. The Plisson is like a dream, but I prefer the natural hair brushes now.
Doesn't sound like it's a Plisson knot. It's referred to as "Plisson style" and one comment says: "found a company who could make something very similar". So as far as I can read it's a synthetic knot that is similar to Plisson so I wouldn't advertise/post it here as that they have released a Plisson.
They also have a couple of razors and pre shave soap in stock with boar and smaller synthetic brushes on the way.
