The Oumo LotusTip ACE - 3 band badger

This knot is praised for its exceptional blend of gel-like softness and dependable backbone: it offers a truly luxurious face feel—plush, smooth, and incredibly comfortable—while still maintaining the structural integrity needed for efficient lather building. It retains a remarkable amount of water, making it perfect for generating a rich, creamy lather with your favorite artisan soaps. This knot ensures a well-hydrated lather that enhances glide and skin comfort throughout your shave.

Choose the SHD LOD if you prefer a more traditional badger experience — soft yet with enough scrub and backbone, and excellent control for lathering harder soaps.

Choose the LotusTip ACE if you're looking for more comfort with soft, gel-like tips that feel luxurious and gentle on the skin — particularly great for face latherers or those with sensitive skin.

Both knots are excellent, but they cater to different tactile preferences. If you want a no-nonsense, high-performance knot with a natural badger character, go SHD LOD. If you want something more indulgent and luxurious, go LotusTip ACE.

Once you make you first lather with the knot it will blossom and almost double in size.
