What I said...
What you said is true as well. How processing affects hair also depends on the hair, and not all hair is the same. It generally gets mixed up and blended, but that doesn't mean it turns out to be homogeneous.
What I said...
I recently ordered three Paladin brushes. They were each from the same knot batch 2CLND3. I found that each knot, though from the same batch, was very different. One displayed amazing gel tips and the other two were soft but no gel.
Interesting thread and info from the maker, thanks. The hooked tips do seem very delicate. I hope it lasts as long as others; I hope they don't break off. Are the hairs more brittle when dry? Should we refrain from brushing them until wet?What you said is true as well. How processing affects hair also depends on the hair, and not all hair is the same.

the one that I purchased did not turn out to be a gel tipThere is a lot of information to be found on this board regarding knots with gel-tips. There is also some discussion in the Knot Notes on our website of gel-tips and the compromises involved in what is required to produce them.
Can you post side-by-side, comparative photos of all three of your recently purchased brushes with 2CLND3 knots?
the brush I purchased is not a gel tipCan you post photos of all three brushes side by side, both wet and dry, for comparison?

All of you have heard, seen or read about each or all of the Oscar Brothers may it have been on TV, the Movies, in News Newspaper and Magazines on the Evening News or the internet. The Oscar Brothers have lived a life very few people can imagine, the stories I can tell about these men are why books are written, why movies are made. So to all you people out there please let me introduce to the Oscar Brothers
All you have already been introduced to Harlequin Oscar with one of the beautiful women that inspired Modigliani to paint. He's highly intelligent like his brothers, he himself is a famous painter and sculpture as well as a world renown author. Harlequin is suave, he's sophisticated as well as a cade who at times has no morals, no boundaries with the women he seduces.
Then there's Honey Noir Oscar called the Surfer Dude or Sweet Honey he's the bad boy of the family, there's no daredevil risks or personal challenge he won't attempt and he always succeeds an incorrigible adventurer, Formula 1 cars, rock face climbing, swimming with the great whites, Whale exploring at the Poles, Dune Buggy racing in the Sahara, mercenary work in the Middle East and then there was the Moon Walk as Sweet Honey put it "it was out of this world", just to name just a few of his accomplishments. He's a carefree guy, a real charmer, likes smokin his grass, he's the original bad boy and yes he's broken the law.
International movie star Graphite Oscar is tall dark very handsome, he is world renown actor-director on stage and screen, he's an author, sportsmen and of course, he is every bit of a rake (it's in the family DNA). He has won multiple awards for his art and received worldwide honors in recognition of his humanitarian efforts, in short, he's irresistible.
And then there is Vintage Port Oscar the banker, Harvard, Stanford, MIT and Oxford he invests and advises only the wealthiest of clientele the Rothschilds, Buffet, Gates, Bezos, Blackstone Group, Goldman Saks. He knows trends before they happen, he understands, breaks down, computes world Economies in seconds in his head. And like his brothers, he's charming as sin, handsome, athletic, understands human nature and drive, quietly exudes power.
The Oscar Brothers (as far as we know there could be a few others that I have not tracked down yet)
