Poll: Favorite synthetic 26mm knot?

TurnNShave 26mm Full Moon
Yaqi 26mm Timberwolf
TurnNShave 26mm Quartermoon knot. Soft, easy to splay, and feels great on the face.
Hard for me to get excited about synthetic knots, but I guess my favorite is the Maggards Black and white one. All the others I’ve tried feel cheap, plastic and springy

I've got a couple badgers and love them. I guess I can look into boar. My first brush ever was an Omega 10049

The 'soft tuxedo' knot - it is absolutely a pillow but makes fantastic lather.
A toss-up between a Stirling Kong and a PAA Atomic Rocket. My face is not particularly sensitive, so I really cannot tell the difference. They just work.

This is a Maggards 26mm Black and White that I set in a Orange Agate wood handle I turned. I have been using it pretty consistently now for about two months and really enjoy it. I bowl lathers like a dream and it will face lather pretty good too. I would not hesitate to buy another one of these knots.
APShaveCo 2BED fan. It's the only 26mm I have. Most of my brushes are 24mm.
Timberwolf. I have a lot of synths and that one is the combo of soft tips and moderate backbone for me. I have a couple of 26 mm Timberwolf brushes. The Tuxedo is great too. And for super soft, the PAA Atomic Rocket is really great too. I think the next brush I have made will be with the Hawk knot.
The Stirling Pro handle. So soft and great for face lathering. I have no desire to purchase another brush after getting this one. The rest are ignored.
Late to the party but I'll share mine: TurnNShave Quartermoon

Mine is probably the Paladin synthetic, followed by a Chubby 2 synth
I'm not a big fan of synthetic brushes but I did buy a Shavemac 173 shape 26mm Synthetic knot and love it, hence me getting a Rubberset 400 and put a Synthetic into that. Also bought an Omega 10098 boar and removed it and put a synthetic blood knot into it
Shavemac 173
Rubberset 400 cobalt blue
Then a boar into a Synthetic blood knot
