You’ll get brushes that run the gamut from extremely gel tipped to barely gel tipped in the same batch of hair. A good example of this is B5. I don’t imagine it’s possible for an entire batch of hair to be treated uniformly. I currently own three HT1s, but have owned a total of five different HT1s (two were traded for others). Four of the five were moderately gel tipped, but I’d say they were pretty much consistent with one another. My 25mm Eland HT1, however, is massively gel tipped. I have another brush from the same drop that has an average amount of gel tips for that batch of hair. Go figure. As far as gel tip/hair consistency goes, B6 is probably the best example I can think of. Some can be more gel tipped than others, but the vast majority are pretty similar to each other.
I’m curious to hear your thoughts on Varlet versus the others. To me, both BE and Mozingo knots are sort of spawned from Declaration, but both are more dense than DG and don’t have that twist in them. As you stated, they seem more similar to one another than they are to Declaration. Varlets are a totally different animal (Aldo started tying a couple years before Scott did, so no influence there), so it’s going to be an apples to oranges comparison, particularly with the non-XD Varlet knot. I haven’t tried a Rhodium yet, so I’m curious to hear your thoughts on it.
