As I said this is..only my opinion on this knot others may find it a nice knot ..but I will not be getting a nother new variant 25mm dense muhle...I will purchase the old one as I have like this alot and have had on issues with it ..so i hope you all have taken something out off my thoughts...and now you must decide weather to try or not to try ..it is not a expensive knot to try ..
Ok folks all the best in your journey in this hobby..

@Ventastic rest assured- there is no glue bump. The glue base is just a plastic cup holding the knot. This XL dense knot is set at 55-56mm and the glue bump is less than 4mm.

I strongly prefer the G5C premium synthetic knots from Japan only, against the G5A & G5B from Germany.

So do I, I have a couple of the G5C knots: 26 and 28mm, and prefer the smaller.

The new Sorona fibres. I would say the Pure Bliss is a touch scrubbier (not in a bad way) whereas the STF is plusher.

Opinions on these brush makers - any real difference?
I'm wanting to get a nice handmade handle with a synthetic brush. Something different than my WCS Simpson knock-off and my Atomic Rocket from PAA. I'm looking in the $50-$100 range. I'm not a collector, so I'd like to find something unique (ish). These small-batch brushmakers caught my eye on...

AFAIK, it varies somewhat, depending on who you'd be buying from - e.g. dscometic has a G7 knot, which is similar to a G5C, but it's a bit different. It isn't a bad knot, but they do suffer from tall glue bumps, and I ended up annihilating mine to save the handle.
Frank Shaving also has G8 and G9. I haven't used those, but reports I've read were somewhat mixed.
