This is a 26mm Premium 2-band Badger knot. This was a 1 1/2 year group project to achieve this knot. Many of the processes knot makers have used were removed. There is little treatment to this hair. No chemicals, no gels, just set out to find the highest hair quality to make this knot we call, the Mojo Maker. We set out to find that perfect sweet spot, playing with weight (density), hair length, and others to give this knot the perfect all natural feel. Our final goal for this knot was to get as close as we could to the quality of a 'hand tied knot' as we could that could be produced by others. It is 26mm, yet it feels more like 30mm. Let's just say: it's packed. To reach perfection on this knot, I drill out the handle at/to a 15mm depth. I have tried them all, promise, the secret sauce sweet spot is at 15mm!!! Is this knot a Fan or a Bulb? We set out to make it a little of both. It really is not either yet both. It's a hybrid. On the face, it just feels perfect,,, in the bowl, it lathers like a dream. On a personal note: I have tested this knot for 6 months and now use nothing else. If bought stand-alone, all shipping will be by First Class Mail. Free Shipping of course :-) Recommendations/opinion for first use of the Mojo Maker: *Set your knot on/in your handle. Wash it out at least 4-5 times in soapy water. Let it soak in hair conditioner for 1 to 2 hours and rinse out. Dry it out. Once this is done, this knot will bloom out like a huge mushroom. It really does takes 3 to 4 shaves of the knot to get the final intended feel of it. This is just what I did to mine and it works and feels like a charm. ,
