I highly recommend the Razor Emporium supplied 26mm MHMW knots. I found them extremely soft out of the box (not bleached) and very little odor. Let the break-in begin! ?????

This knot has all the qualities you would expect in a Manchurian Silvertip knot. It is very high density and has excellent backbone while also being very soft on the face. I had a nice, had turned handle and I wanted to find a knot worthy of the handle and I found it with this knot. Excellent knot to set in a handle that you care about, or any handle for that matter!

Really nice knot. Just shaved with it for the first time. One thing to note: the descriptions for some of the knots say that the plug is 2mm smaller than the noted size (a 22m plug will fit a 20mm hole, etc) but this one is a true 20mm. I sanded and filed it to fit my 18mm handle hole.

Best bristles ever and soft. Gives a very good lather.
