Not too long ago, I made the mistake of purchasing a Parker Safety Razor Silvertip Brush. Even if it didn't shed like my mastiff in the summertime, the loft is far too high. Imagine face lathering with a handful of cooked spaghetti. It is about a week after the vendor accepts returns so that option is out. The one thing about the brush that is nice is the elegant, chrome-trimmed faux ebony handle. I stumbled upon the Golden Nib's website and they have some fair-priced 22mm knots that will fit the handle. I am leaning toward the Super Fan knot because I have no experience with a fan and the price is right. All of my brushes to this point are bulbs or hybrid bulbs (save the Parker that I am planning to restore).
My question is, does anyone have any experience with this particular knot? Is it good for face lathering? I am looking for a 3 band knot. Can anyone suggest a different Golden Nib knot that I may like better or even a knot from another vendor? This will be my first attempt at brush restoration. Thanks.
