Hi guys,
I'm trying to find a couple synthetic knots similar to what I tried last year in the synthetic brush passaround. I'll post my thoughts from that thread just so you can get an idea of what I liked or didn't like. They don't have to be the same size. I may get a larger knot. Don't have the handle yet so it isn't set in stone. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
From pass around thread:
So, my favorites from the box were probably the
Crown King Checkmate
Kong
Plissoft
Plisson
Jagger silvertip
Hunter
They had enough backbone without it keeping them from splaying if I wanted to use them that way. Knots were soft without being floppy. Plisson was one of the softest brushes in the box too me. I tried finding a Checkmate for sale, but unfortunately they are no long available. I'll probably be ordering a Razorock Plissoft, but I'm going to do some shopping.
Didn't care for the solid black Purest Bristle, clear handle Omega, or the Muhle Silvertip. They were okay for painting strokes, but felt too rough if you wanted to splay them any. My primary brush is an Atomic Rocket and I like it, but the Green Ray knot seemed too floppy. Glad I didn't order one of those before.
