Poll: (Part 2) What is your favorite type of synthetic knot?

[YouToo]

After an advice from ackvil, I decided to make a part 2 of this poll and include most of the knots that were skipped the first time around.
Once this part is finished, I'm gonna combine the top choices of both polls into a final one.
If you can't find your favorite in this thread, vote in the first poll instead. You can vote for a maximum of 3 options.

 

[ackvil]

Voted for my three.

 

[FarmerTan]

Still have yet to try one. Hopefully someday soon!

Clearly Shavemac Synthetic for me. Really love that brush...

 

[Badger in the Sun]

I value softness over backbone, which is why I like the Motherlode over the dozen or so other synthetics I've owned. It also has excellent water retention compared to others.

One I'm interested in, the Omega Evo, has no votes as of today. Wonder why?

Happy shaves,

Jim

It's a luxury synthetic so I don't think many people tried it yet.

Going partly by what I hear him saying and more by what I see happening it might be a good brush.

We'll find out over time.

It looks expensive for a synthetic but it's about the same as the similar sized brushes from Simpson and Muhle STF (if you can find one). It's about the same as a similar sized Maseto silvertip or two band.

We'll see.

Happy shaves,

Jim

It's definitely on my bucket list but I also don't need it... I'll probably pick one up if I see a good deal in the BST.

I still haven't tried a synthetic brush yet, but I have two phenomenal boars, thanks to Macfrommichigan and @BudgetShaverGuy .

 

[pork]

CH2 Synthetic, but it's not an option

 

[boilerphan]

Mühle Silvertip Fibre is clearly my #1, but not an option.

 

[Vincentchou]

EJ Silvertip Fibre+1, especially an XL one.

 

[HighSpeedSpoon]

I voted EVO, and my second choice would have been Muhle STF. I like the water retention and splay behavior of the EVO, but TBH, I only have five or six shaves with the EVO, and it has been quite a while since I used the Muhle. I am using the EVO during FFFMM, after which I might possibly go back and, for comparison purposes, dedicate a block of time to using the Muhle exclusively. We’ll see.

Interesting options in the poll! (I voted for Shavemac.)

You made things a bit easier by omitting Simpsons options. Was that by design?

It’s hard to cover all the ground in polls like this, and I think an “other” category would have been better.

I noticed that APShaveCo was not mentioned.
