A synthetic knot made with fibres of three different curvatures.

The feel

Nemesis offers another synthetic option, with its character shaped by the combination of curved fibres.

We will consider diameter, shape and fitted loft together to find the balance you prefer.

These are reference options, rather than a stock list. Your brush page states the knot fitted; for a bespoke piece, we agree the version, diameter and exposed loft together.

Construction & technical details

The technical specification identifies BASF as the raw-material source and describes a blend of three fibre curvatures.

Bulb was the original profile; Fan was added in October 2024. Total knot height is listed as 62 mm.

No numerical density, specific polymer grade or reference loft table is supplied.

Total knot height and fitted loft are different measurements. The fitted loft is the length exposed above the handle.

Your Talarico brush

The recommended knot is included in the listed price of each catalogue brush. We can discuss other knots or settings before you order.

I make complete shaving brushes; handles and loose knots are not sold separately.

Care after use

Rinse thoroughly, gently shake out excess water and allow the brush to dry in a ventilated place. Let the tips do the work rather than pressing the knot flat.
