Sweet looking brush Matsilainen! There's something familiar about it. I like "Tuxedo Dog". I'm gonna have to use that if you don't mind.

I say we just use the Tuxedo Dog name for our brushes from here on out. It’s official. It’s a thing.
Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”

I think that I have already found the perfect knot for me although I am still curious about the Tuxedo knot due to all of the great things that I've read and also because it looks cool. Does anyone know how it compares to the newer Whipped Dog synthetic? I prefer the least amount of backbone possible and no scratchiness whatsoever. I find the Plisson style knots a bit too harsh for me but if this is considerably softer, then I might really enjoy it. I love synthetic knots in general and I'm really glad to see some innovation in this area.

I find that the Tuxedo has no scratchiness, and if you set it as high in the handle as possible, there will only be a small amount of backbone. I set mine in the standard Whipped Dog handle at the default height, and really enjoy it. If you were to use a thin spacer to raise the knot slightly, there should be even less backbone.
