(Italian Barber) Pennello da Barba Sintetico RazoRock Plissoft Tre Colori

I’ve tried a lot of synthetic knots, and this one is the first that feels genuinely close to a badger—the plissoft fibers are dense enough to hold lather without feeling scrubby. The three-color handle looks even better in person, and it dried fully within a couple hours after my morning shave.

The handle on this one has a nice weight to it that makes it feel more expensive than it is. I’ve been using it daily for two weeks and the knot still holds its shape perfectly after every rinse.

The plissoft knot is unbelievably soft yet has just enough backbone to whip up a lather without feeling floppy. I’ve used it daily for two weeks and it still looks brand new, drying fast enough that I never worry about mold. Honestly changed my morning routine for the better.
