If I’m gonna spend 300 on that brush there are 3 other avenues I would pursue first
1 - get a complete custom brush from Mozingo
2 - get a black eagle for 50 more
3 - throw in an extra 200 and get a custom Varlet
Note all 3 of the above include tremendous craftsmanship on the handle AND a wonderfully constructed knot that was hand tied by the artisan.

I just meant for me personally in that list.

I know it was a bit expensive, but I like it very much.
We all have our opinions and that's what makes the world go 'round.
Happy shaving!

Can you share a knot photo? Really wonder how synthetic/badger mix looks like.
How is the knot?

Sure. Here is a picture of the knot. Have not used yet. Very soft tips, nice backbone.

Rich Man calls S2 which is mixed Synthetic/Silvertip. It might lather faster than other badger knots.
Mojo handle looks pretty good. I cannot say anything about $300.
Since resin/wood handles from many artisans are expensive, double wood is even more expensive
and I haven't seen any mixed badger/synthetic knot.
The knot may be custom ordered from China. Might be more expensive than other knots.
Hope you will enjoy with your new brush.
