First of all, the Finest grade is not longer available. Shavemac decided to drop the grade about 3 years ago. I really liked this hair grade. It was a mix of their three band standard silvertip hair (not D01 hair), i.e. very soft hair, and the old three band pure to give backbone. It was very consistent and very much the same as the best grade of Simpson. The two-band silvertip has more backbone and might be also a tad more dense than the finest grade. Wish the Finest was still offered, it was a super value for the money.For those of you who have used both Shavemac fInest and Shavemac silvertip 2 band brushes (fan knots), could you please compare and contrast these 2 types of hair (face feel, backbone, overall performance, etc)? Thanks

My finest knot that you set is one of my softest feeling brushes without any chemical alteration of the hair. My opinion is the Simpson best grade is significantly scrubbier than the Shavemac finest grade. Not saying one or the other is better- i love them both. I'd buy another finest grade if i could- i think its the perfect knot for a daily shaver- probably not so much if you've got a tough beard with some days of growth.First of all, the Finest grade is not longer available.
