Thread: New Whipped Dog Synthetic

I just had my 5th shave with the WD Synthetic knot. I really like it. I have tried a different type of soap each day and it has done superbly with each one. I have face lathered each day. The brush loads easily, is surprisingly soft, and quickly works up a great lather. This knot is a keeper. I understand why Larry at Whipped Dog offers a refund if you try it and don't like it. I will be keeping mine, thank your very much!

Nice. I just bought a couple of knots from Larry, but i skipped the synthetic. Appears that I may like it better than the pure badger he now has back in stock. I just happened to have a "pure badger" marked handle, and wanted to try it, and he had some (although is his site said that he was out).
I'll try Larry's synthetic next time i have a handle to fill.
That's my "go to" DE razor too (when i use those things). Good report and nice job on the title matching the subject.Buttery Goodness is the Grail

In the FWIW category:
I pulled out he WD Synthetic again this morning to use on a puck of Haslinger. I just dipped the brush in hot water, gave it 3 shakes, and loaded it on the puck for about 30 seconds. I had plenty of great lather for 3 passes plus. I truly like this brush. The performance is excellent and it feels great on my face. 24mmx58mm

Thanked: 14Awesome job on that brush! I'm curious, do the synthenic knots lose any hairs during use? I would imagine that the plug holding the fibers would be the same as any others and tend to shed every once in awhile, but the only complaint I ever hear about the synthetics is about their texture...

Mike-Mine has not lost a hair. The texture of the new generation of synthetic knots is terrific!! Since they don't retain water, there is a small learning curve, but they feel great on your face.

No shedding problems in any of my Sythetics.
