If you had a choice of 26mm Finest Badger knots would you go for Virginia Sheng, Ace, Yaqi, Maggard, Franks, Maseto, or TGN?
Maggard 26mm 2 band. It is so densely packed!

@ShavePastor,
Can you please give an explanation between the Maseto 30mm and the Maggard 26mm brush that you have? I think you have a 2band by them.
Maseto goes up to 70 usd for me. The Maggard 28mm goes 36 usd without a handle which adds the costs due to the shipping costs. I am considering between this two options so any feedback will be valuable.
Thank you!
Thank you! Final question as I never have tried a silvertip. Is that MS silvertip good for hard soaps ?The 30mm Maseto Silvertip Fan is obviously denser, but it's also softer with less scrub & backbone than the 26mm Maggard 2 band.
I personally like the Maseto better in nearly every aspect.
Yes sir, this Maseto can handle the softest cream to hardest triple milled soaps out there. At first it does sort of hog the lather but after a month or so it breaks in nicely & you really figure how to use it to its maximum potential. It is a great brush for the money!Thank you!

Thank you again! I have read most people prefer the 2 band by Maseto and I was considering the 2 band version. Your positive comments on Silvertip made me think again. a bit tough finding the best without trying it first.
Blessings.
Please get a Maseto 2 band then. Just joking.Just for the record, I haven't tried the Maseto 2 band. I personally like a little less backbone in a brush so I prefer Silvertip over 2 band.
Roughly how much is shipping from the US to you?
I have a 28 mm ACE Finest in a TGN black handle that needs another home. Pay the shipping and its yours.
I've been following this thread and was curious is anybody had tried Envy Shave's White Supreme 2-band? It's a little more expensive than Maggard's and nearly as expensive as Elite Razor's.
