Here are several of the brushes in my Den that use some form of "Silvertip Fibre" knot:

Top row, L to R:
Epsilon Silvertip Fibre Shaving Brush 54/26
Mühle 35K256 25mm Silvertip Fiber (STF)
Graydog Chess (TNS 26mm Silver Synth)
Simpson Trafalgar T3

Bottom Row, L to R:
Epsilon Silvertip Fibre Shaving Brush 26mm 'Chubby'
Edwin Jagger Imitation Horn (25mm Synthetic Silver Tip)
Graydog Backyard Maple Chubby (TNS 26mm Full Moon)
Omega EVO

In my opinion, the Epsilon Silvertip Fibre Shaving Brush 26mm 'Chubby' brush feels close to a Mühle STF or TNS Silver Synth knot set at a lower loft.

Please note that the other Epsilon brush is also listed as "Silvertip Fibre" (the same as the 'Chubby'), but the knot looks more like a Plisson than a STF.

Hope this helps. :)

It's a nice brush!
The handle looks cheap but the tips are very soft and the fibers slightly stiffer than the Muhle STF. It has great splay and a good backbone. Today I'll try it.
It doesn't have a hole in the center, I did it for taking it out of the box!
