I made the list again. Goal is the Black Wolf synthetic and probably RCE series handle (something to match my Goosebumps group buy)

Having had a couple of uses now, I love this brush! The knot is possibly my favourite synthetic, very soft face feel, easy to splay but with enough backbone. The knot being a tad more compact than the Muhle it's easier not to put lather into my ears. The handle is, of course, superb. Two thumbs up from me!

The massive advantage that I feel the original Plisson has over the Mühle, other competition, and 'Plissoft' imitators is that it splays is the most like a natural knot. How do you rate this BlackWolf in this respect?!

@chris.hale and @Mr_Smartepants: I would also be interested on comments for the BlackWolf synthetic. Current synthetics include the WW Ubersoft II and Mervyn Cadman's synthetic. When I came up on the WW waitlist this summer, fairly long anticipated wait for the BlackWolf and his order had not been received yet. On the list again.

Compared to the synths that I've tried (Muhle, Edwin Jagger, Simpson) the Black Wolf feels and splays most like a natural brush. I've not tried the Plisson, it's too wee.

Agreed. I used the black-wolf tonight for the first time and I'm really impressed. It has no chance of replacing my badger collection but it's gone straight to the top of the synthetic heap. Very nice face feel. Soft tips, splays easily while maintaining backbone for face-lathering (though the fibers retain some springiness that can get distracting). The Plisson-style knots don't have this springiness, but they have no backbone either. It's a compromise.

Hi

Got my new WW handle yesterday so I glued my 24mm Romera Manchurian fan into it immediately and gave it it's first test lather today.

I'm loving the handle, and the softness of the knot actually shocked me. It's amazing. Genuinely right up there with my Simpsons manchurian and Silvertip, but seems to currently have a little more backbone. It will be fascinating to see how the knot develops as it blooms!

To say I'm pleased is an understatement!!!

Nice brush

I'm waiting a Romera knot (the batch of may). Also is a 24 Manchurian Finest FAN.
How high have you set the brush?
