As the others have mentioned, Shavemac knots are exemplary and, possibly, the best knots available. At present, I have five Shavemac 2-Band knots, three D01's, one Unique, and one Silvertip, and I have also tried five others during the past nine years of shaving and I have never seen any of the brushes shed a hair.
Good luck.
