Has anybody tried either of them yet? (There are two variations) They're supposed to be able to go toe to toe with the Muhle/EJ STF, which is a bold statement, but because they're a bit pricey I'd love a review or any opinions/observations from anybody that may have already acquired one despite them having only recently become available? What do you think, fellas? I'm boosting the relevant information on both knots below this text.
________________________________________________
The G5A features the following:
- Natural-looking synthetic fibers imported from Germany
- The hair on the G5A is very similar to that of other big name high end synthetic knots. For reference, it’s most similar to the Omega EVO, and similar to the Simpsons Platium Grade synthetic.
- This knot has been packed with SHD density to make it the denest possible knot for it’s size (20% more hair).
- Excellent backbone. This German hair uses a wavy style hair to clump the tips and gives it more backbone while still retaining that amazing synthetic softness. It’s a truly luxurious experience with this knot.
- Very soft tips (approx. very soft to above average softness compared to other synthetics)
- A common problem with the G4 knots you’ve seen on the market is that they tend to tangle in the center after use. This problem does not occur in the G5A hair!
- It retains water in a more efficient manner than traditional synthetics.
NOTE: These knots contain and inherently shorter height (approx. 65mm) compared to other synthetics (68mm). Keep this in mind when setting the knot, you'll need a slightly more shallow hole!
Base Diameter: 24mm, 26mm and 28mm being $26, $30 and $33 respectively.

The G5B features the following:
- All Black Hair Fibers imported from Germany
- EXCELLENT backbone. The stiffer German hair gives you backbone more similar to natural hair than nearly any synthetic.
- Soft tips (approx. average softness compared to other synthetics), scrubby base
- Ultra quick drying. Shake dry or dry with a towel and it's dry in less than half the time of a normal synthetic knot
- Antibacterial Hair - an antibacterial coating is applied to the hair. This makes it safer to store in smaller places with less air, such as a dopp kit. This, combined with it's quick drying properties make it an excellent knot for travel.
Base Diameter: 24mm, 26mm and 28mm being $16, $19 and $24 respectively.
