    Default TGN Short Loft Silvertip

    I just got a Short Loft Silvertip from TGN.
    WOW !!
    I love this thing. It's so soft, but not floppy at all. It's amazing. I've stayed away from Silvertips because I don't like floppy, and when I got a best badger knot, it was floppier than I like. So I didn't bother with Silvertip until I saw this short one. Man am I glad I tried it.
    I'd recommend sticking one of these in your next brush restore. Great little knot. It's 24mm x I wanna say 57mm but I can't remember for sure. It's Fifty something.

    Nice brush and nice work also.
    As for TGN silvertip knots I find that they are very nice if they are set little bit more deeper in the handle.
    In that case I set standard 24 mm silvertip knot which original measure is 24 x 67, something about 15 mm deep so in the end thats 24 x 50-52 mm and it's not floppy at all and same time it's very soft.

    I plan to put one in the handle of an Omega 31064, actually. Glad to have a review of it!
