126 gm - still damp.Gorgeous. Would really like to have an Elite handle. How much does that brush weigh?
My understanding has been that silvertips by nature have less backbone, but have a softer face feel than some lesser grades.Another brush received - Yaqi Highmountain Silvertip badger, 24 mm. This brush does not have the backbone that my more expensive badgers have. I suspect the term "Highmountain Silvertip" is just a marketing phrase that the Chinese manufacturer uses. But the brush lathers well and has a nice soft feel. It will be a user.

I know used the Rudy Vey today, what a great handle and a great knotBoth look great!
You are going to have a very stressful few days trying to decide which one of your many new brushes to use each day.
Let us know your thoughts on both.
I love my Spiffo brushes and will have my 4th by the end of next week.
Rudy will have to wait until the border opens up and I can get to my PO Box as I want a Badger and he doesn’t ship them out of the US.
I seriously considered buying that handle. It is a beauty!Arrived today from Elite Razor - Imperial Jade 26 mm High Mountain White - Bulb

That's what she said.Do not mind at all, but it is more fun joining in
Thanks. It's quick become my favorite.I seriously considered buying that handle. It is a beauty!
Here's my new Shavemac (30 mm Silvertip 2-Band). It was an exercise in patience as I had to order an extra-wide stand for it from Maggard to accommodate the large handle size after the brush arrived. I didn't want to use the brush until I had the proper setup. It was worth the wait, though.

If I'd known how much I was going to like this stainless steel brush stand I would have acquired it earlier. Yesterday's brush spends a day enjoying it. |
