Good choice. My brother has a a few shavemac brushes. He doesn't use anything else, period. I believe his favorite is the Germania Silvertip 2-band, and the TW3 or TG3 Silvertip 2-band. He let me try them once, ONLY ONCE! Great feeling brushes. As he would describe "bro, it's like wiping your rear end with silk". I wouldn't know how it feels to clean the buttocks with silk, but those brushes were smooth, but nice and firm. SHOP AWAY!!!!!!
