Knot FAQ

Here is some information regarding the different knots I carry, all from AP Shave Co.

G5B

Boasting black synthetic fiber hairs imported from Germany, this knot has excellent backbone with a clear similarity to natural hair. Don't let it fool you, the tips of these knots are extremely soft. It dries quickly, and it is coated in an antibacterial coating, making it ideal for dopp kit storage! The G5B is a bulb shape, so if you're looking for a fan this is not for you!

G5C

The first fan shaped knot in the G5 line, these Japanese imported synthetic hair fibers give you all of the bonuses of a synthetic, with the look of natural badger! These hairs are stiffer than almost all other synthetics, giving it a great backbone, and the tips of the knot are softer than even the G5A. 

Cashmere

A truly beautiful knot, with great color and incredible softness, this knot is perfect for people looking for a great unique sense of style and functionality, with the water retention being incredibly excellent, and still drying quick! They are available in bulb and fan, but I prefer to carry the fan knot!

Gelousy

These are the cream of the crop here, and my personal favorite knot to use currently! These are for someone who wants real badger hair, at high quality. They gel almost instantaneously, and provide great splay and backbone (obviously varies based on set depth, which I keep at 15mm-18mm as my personal preference, with 16 being the current champ in my eyes). These knots retain water like champions, and as for shape? We carry the fan. We have to love a fan knot here at Aurora Grooming!
