Thanks! This was a project that had been sitting in a drawer for a looooooong time.
To answer your question, I give a qualified "Way Softer." Because my tuxedo knot is not from Maggard Razors
I have a tuxedo knot in another brush but it's from APShaveCo. If the Maggard tuxedo knot is the same as APShaveCo, then the Maggard Black Synthetic in this picture is way WAY softer. The tuxedo has a lot of backbone for a Synthetic.
Thanks, that's what I suspected. I have three "black and white" knots from Maggard, 20mm, 24mm, and 26mm, and they are nicely dense and firm. I just wish they offered them in fan shape.
