I’m curious about experiences, and if you have comparisons with other badger knots I might know (such as Declaration B3, B7, B16, Maggard SHD, Maggard Silvertip, Zenith Manchurian, AP Shave Co Gelousy), even better!

    I have a nom boar, and its terrible, too.

    It’s just a shame that most of their knots are so tiny! 21 mm

    Right? It seems minuscule, so shall it even qualifies for the #RUNT category in the LG scavenger hunt, yet Mühle calls it “medium” size, and cheeky thought it’s worth a nice handle.

    Everything about this brush diverges from my expectations, so I’m intrigued. The company is traditionally a brush maker, too. It’s all very weird

      Yeah, I don’t really miss it. Seems like at that price point, their only good brushes are the black fibre synthetics.

      I’d even call it an awesome handle, but when that is what they call medium… IDK. My grandpa’s vintage brush also required that my dad and me sanded down the glue of the new knot and carefully widened the yellow bakelite with a Dremel, so no idea what it is with East Germany and tiny shaving brush knots. 😅

      I find it intriguing too and I believe Mühle can make great products… if only their knots weren’t so small 🤔

        Yeah, that’s exactly where I’ve been stuck for the last 2-3 years. Now this discount has pushed me over the edge and I’ve ordered one.
