The old STF only had one density option. ++ density only applies to the new, plant-based fiber
Muhle STF XL - It is that good!

I'm comparing the new STF XL Dense ++ 37% plant-based fiber to the older STF XL regular density.
Im very much looking forward to your results.
I have several dozen latherings of the older STF and just finished the sixth shave on the new ++. I don't believe it's reached its final form yet, but I'm liking the new fiber very much: looks, bloom, and face feel. It splays easily and continues the STF tradition of great flowthrough. If the old fiber is a 95, then the new one's a 98. I'm keeping both in the lineup, especially since the older brush has a Rudy Vey handle.
Does synthetic knots need time to get better like animal hair does? Cause I have to say, the XL STF is pretty meh at the moment.
some might change a bit in the beginning, but not like a boar that needs 50 shaves to break in. 5-10 shaves tops imo, and don't expect a drastic change.
