Anybody try a B8 knot yet?
you will always find up-side hairs, even in the best brushes.I just received my B8 knot which was placed in a 26mm Mozingo handle.

I test lathered it three times. The initial badger funk is present but really minimal. This morning, I lathered up with GD Sangre de Naranja soap. The feel of this B8 is soft tips, no scritch and pillowy, face suction with moderate backbone. After 4 lather and dry sessions, there are no gel tips.

I have a question about some brown hairs mixed in with the white tips. Are these brown hairs unintentional inverted hairs with the white tip on the other end? Is this a quality control issue?

I'm not seeing any in my Paladin nor my Stirling either.Wrong. I have a Black Eagle HT1 and it has zero upside down hairs in it. It is pure white.
It does look like more upside down hairs than one would expect in a high end knot. I have to say it surprises me. I currently have a B4 and I've had B2 and B6 knots in the past. The B4 doesn't look like that and I don't remember the other two having that many upside down hairs either.I just received my B8 knot which was placed in a 26mm Mozingo handle.

So did you go to Scott and ask him what was going on with the hairs ?
He was the one to ask first.
