Alpha Titanium Outlaw V2 with G4 Synthetic Knot

So the Handle for this brush is outstanding. Made of Titanium (which not many would care for but I think it's great and goes well with my collection of Titanium Razors), but what I really didn't like was the knot or the Bristles. First thing to note is that while it does give up lather much better, it also isn't as malleable and badger brushes with larger knots can fit into stands that this 26mm synthetic cannot. Granted the fibers are tough and you can tell they're good quality but it's still difficult for me to enjoy compared to a badger.

I will probably remove the knot and have another one put in, overall a great handle. Love the handles from Alpha.
