Curious as to how folks are finding the B15 knots to be.  Any reactions?  Comparisons to earlier versions, particularly compared to the B14s?

Seth,

Will have a complete writeup and addition to my DG thread likely Wednesday

My early impression of B15 is that it is half way between B14 and B13 for backbone, a bit more scrubby than both, similar kind of lightly treated, fairly natural hair. I like it. My favourite is still B13 as I favour a soft knot with more movement.

But I am no kind of brush expert, and I haven’t been alternating between these to make sure my comparisons are fresh and my impressions are accurate.

Thanks for this comparison, I actually haven't tried any of these knots but it's great to be able to see some commentary on how they all compare.
When you say "more movement", do you mean easier splay and less rigidity?

Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.

Dan Law’s thread on all the DG knots is well worth reading. Much fuller descriptions than I have the knowledge to manage, and I think he said he will add his review of B15 very soon.

Hi everybody, first post here! and just bought my first DG, a blood of kings with B17. I really don't know what to expect from this knot as I haven't read anything on the web, I was waiting for the B15 but here in Italy was 2 AM Confused

Have 2 B17s coming this week and will update (hopefully) by end of week if not, surely within the fortnight.
