Stirling 26mm Finest bager:
This is a big brush. The tips are soft but there is good backbone. It is very easy to face lather with. I would honestly say that I would be very happy with this brush instead of the more expensive ones that I have. Why are you still reading this? Buy it.

Just came in yesterday. I'll post some pics next to my other brushes just to give people an idea of how huge this one is. It is a Geo F Trumper CH3 in Superbadger. It is an awesome brush. Blew me away with its performance. I have a lot of soap and creams and this is the one that I can use to use them up so I can get new ones.

Very nice set of 6. How are the xl1 and the xl2 different?

Knot sizes for the XL series, 24, 28 and 30. Significant difference in the size of the XL1 and XL2 handles. XL series is similar in size to the Chubby series, tips are softer than the Manchurians. Hope I answered the Q.

Nice brushes. Out of the synthetics, which do you use the most? Or do you find that you rotate them.

Nice brushes. Out of the synthetics, which do you use the most? Or do you find that you rotate them.

I use the Muhle STF XL the most. But to tell you the truth there are more similarities in them than differences. I like the Muhle best mostly because it has a bigger bloom of the fibers.

 

[LoungeLizard]
