The Paladin Moby™ handle-design was derived directly from the Zephyr without reference to any other handle. That said, the Moby clearly suggests the venerable Jar motif (e.g., Simpson’s Persian Jar). Although we wouldn’t hesitate to face lather with the Moby, its overall height is probably more suggestive of fitness for use with a bowl.

At present, we only offer knots containing what is commonly referred to as 2-band badger hair, the characteristics of which combine resilient (springy) shafts with soft tips. High quality knots of this type are prized for their overall performance. The resilience of 2-band hair confers optimal backbone without excessive density. As a result, 2-band knots typically deliver superior lather production and flow-through without sacrificing comfort in use. We offer these knots first and foremost because they are what we prefer to use ourselves. Please take care to note additional details regarding the various knots installed in listed brushes .
