RazoRock Plissoft "BEEHIVE" Synthetic XL size 28/63mm knot

G'day DFS  


Has anybody experience the RazoRock Plissoft "BEEHIVE" Synthetic XL size 28/63mm knot click here, wanted to know if this knot splay very well and not too springy.

Cheers  

I think they just got added in the last day or so. Looks like a lot of nice additions. I'm not currently using synthetics but a couple of those larger ones might be worth trying for fun.

was going to get some of the new brushes today but then I just settled with the Titanium BBS + 2-3 blade samples. Probably when the mamba comes out I will grab 3 of the large synthetic brushes and the Mamba and will let you know how they perform

Just received my 2 brushes from RazoRock. The Beehive 28mm and the RR F-400 XXL 34mm. Both are big, but the F-400 is MASSIVE! Still, it feels good in the hands. Reviews on both coming soon.... Pics below for scale.

Maggard 26mm synthetic, RR 28mm Beehive synthetic, RR F-400 XXL 34mm synthetic.

Does the F-400 need to be held like a paint brush or does it fit in the palm of the hand?

Fits well in my hands. But if your hands are kind of on the small side, it can be a little overwhelming......

Mine came today and I must say I'm disappointed in it. Like 1/8 the hairs are in upside down. I've removed 25 hairs so far and yet there's still so many more going take me days to get them all. As is the brush is super prickly. My past synthetics have had like up to 5 upturned hairs but this one looks like everything other hair is upside down

Slyfox can you please post a picture for us to have a closer look at the knot, IF the synthetic fibre are upside down by mistake ?? before you email an issue to Joseph from Italian Barber for a replacement.

Unfortunately even with iPhone 7 camera it's hard to see. But in person looking at the knot the upside down hairs are a white/clear color va the normal. Once pulled you see the top soft tip was at the bottom. I'm a synthetic only user and seen this on all but the black wolf and tuxedo knots. But never this bad, usually it's just a few hairs like maybe 10.

The upside down hairs are flat and squarish while the  ormal tips are cream colored and ziggy in all my 14 synthetic brushes I've never seen so many upside down hairs on a brush. I lost hope of getting them all without spending hours on it(which is tedious and hard on my eyes) and probably comprising the knot taking so many hairs out.

This is my 6th rr brush. The others were good the first was and is amazing and my 2nd softish brush with only 2 upside down hairs found to date.

Also It's unavoidable with mass production that some hairs will get put in upside down given the price. Which is why it's seen in most my synthetics. Just never seen this bad before. Hopefully it's just this knot. I quite like ItalianBarber.
