Gentlemen,
A recent poll asked our preference between Shavemac or Kent brushes and since I don't own and have never used a Kent, I did not participate. After reading some of the posts on that poll and remembering previous brush forum posts, I am curious about these brushes. My question to Kent aficionados is which Kent would you purchase if you were only going to acquire one brush. In the interest of full disclosure, I don't need one more brush but....well you know how it works. I understand the YMMV notion so let me give you some background. I have been a wet shaver for many years and face lather almost exclusively. I currently have three Simpson LE brushes, two Shavemac do1 two bands, a 2010 and a 2011 Semogue LE and a few TGN rebuilds. I have several other badgers and a few boars as well. I generally prefer knots in the range between 20 and 24 mm with backbone. I have not tried larger knots at this point.
I am eager to hear from those of you that like or dislike the Kent line of brushes. Many thanks in advance for your input.
Best regards,
Doug
