First go with my new Paladin Chief. 2CLSE5. This is a true gel tipped knot. Hooking tips after 1st test hand lather. The tips are feeling slimy even after thorough rising. Drying in pronounced clumping and very crispy. I’m really liking it and haven’t seen these qualities since my Heritage 2XL and Stubby 2. All knots are different even in the same batch but the one I got this time around is the one I’ve been looking for.
