I bought this brush with a boar knot from DSC on AliExpress. Lovely handle. Alas, the knot was not very refined. Nothing against a primitive boar, but it really was nasty and while removing it, I found the resin bump rose through the knot to about half way up and make it quite a tough one to cut down. Handle bored out a little to accomodate the new knot ...

... a 26mm Synbad.

I had a brief pang of regret that I had not fitted the Cashmere knot that I fitted to my Vie-Long Amphora handle (See: https://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/community/threads/vie-long-amphora-knot-swap.56741/) but that would have made it just too like the Yaqi Dandelion. I think the bigger knot suits this handle and from a test lather earlier on, it's a super-mop!

I'm going to enjoy it!

It looks great, very unique and the Synbad is a great knot.

Thanks, matey! I assume the Razorock Mokasoft is actually the Synbad. I certainly like that brush ... and my earlier test earlier on with this brush felt very much like, just longer and softer. Like lathering up with a fingerprint duster!

That's the problem when all you have is a green handle.
