    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.

    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

    Awesome 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.
