What I wanted was a knot that did not feel chemically treated (I dislike the slimy feel) and I wanted to feel a light scrub for a good face lathering massage, which this knot provides (26 knot set at 50) and be aesthetically pleasing, you can see the black band is even across the knot. This is a superb knot by Allen in feel and appearance (handle by Elite) Reserve VI
