I picked up the TGN UK Silvertip when Tony was clearing them out for $59. At the time I was hesitant to spend almost 3x the price as the other knots from TGN. Boy am I glad I did.
I had a custom butterscotch handle turned to fit the knot in a Chubby 1 style. I set the knot at 51mm and think it is just about a perfect loft for this knot.
These knots were made by Vulfix and you can tell the quality shines through. It is a very dense knot with super soft tips, one of my softest. Setting it at 51mm gave it enough backbone for loading soaps and face lathering and it lathers like a beast!
After experiencing every knot from Simpson's (best, super, and super 2-band), I'm fairly certain that this knot was actually a Simpson's Super 3-band chubby knot. No wonder Vulfix stopped providing these to Tony for so cheap.
This is definitely one of my top 5 brushes and was at the time the very best knot you could get from TGN. I just wish I had bought a backup.
If you see one of these on BST, don't hesitate to snap it up. I just know you won't see mine on there anytime.
