Plisoft monster.

So I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Did anyone else's have a odd brush shape? There's s bump on mine so it's not completely round more oval.

The handle or the knot?

The knot

Going try using it and seeing if maybe it rounds out

Nope just an oval shaped brush 0.o hmm

Hmm, that's odd. Does it really affect the performance at all?

post some photos

Mine was a little misshapen because that ginormous knot was crammed in its tiny box. Eventually settled into a normal bulb shape though. Pics would be interesting to see.

Here's my El Monstruo. Great brush and I don't notice any deformity other than from packing as mentioned. Performs like a brush 5x the cost.

Totally agree Kevin. I just used mine today in fact. I just love how it feels in the hand!
