What do you guys think of the three brushes? They all use same 24mm synthetic Maggard knot. I was playing with the shapes to see what is the right size and comfortable in hand.

I think your brushes are nice. I particularly like the first group for their shape. I think group two and three have ends that have ends that are a little too severe for my taste. Group one would look nice hanging upside down which they should if they are to be used. What are Maggard knots? Where did you get them and how do they compare with a good badger knot?

Rockytime, it's three different pictures of the same brushes.

My old eyes must be tired. The first photo appears to me to be different than the next two. I"m just looking at the bottoms of the handles. Still wondering what your bristles are and where they are available.

They are the same brushes in different light.

The bristles are the amazingly cheap <$7 synthetic fibers that I got from Maggard Maggard Razors 24mm Synthetic Shaving Brush Knot Only | Maggard Razors - Straight Razor Restoration, Custom Scales and Wet Shaving Products

They have the same softness as a traditional silvertip badger with a good backbone. They lather up really nice with face and bowl lathering and dry within a few hours and no need to soak them in water prior to shaving. These knots are pretty much same as the famous Plisson synthetic style knots with better backbone.
