Shavemac brush choice

[tenreasy]

I am going to order a Shavemac brush. Both have 24mm knot, 50mm loft, Silvertip 2 band fan. Gonna use it strictly for face lathering. Which do you like?

#1 Blue Marble

#2 Ocean Blue

Fan. Both handles are nice, but for that knot and loft, I'd go with a fan.

They are both good looking. I have fans, bulbs, and hybrids. They all work the same for me but I just like the traditional look of bulbs.

Ignore the bulb shape for #2. It will be a fan - so both brushes are fan type. The only difference is the brush shape and color (blue marble vs. ocean blue).

Then #2

I like bulbs. Easier to keep the lather in the soap container.

#1!!!!!! Handle shape is way more ergonomic in my fingers. Colors about equal for me. Knot you've decided on and I'm a big 'fan' of your choice...

+1...

I really like the Ocean Blue color of the second handle and the shape is one I prefer, but I am a bowl latherer. Are these from a ready made/ready to ship brush collection? Because I have not seen the ocean blue color in the brush customizer on the Shavemac site.

I have a couple with handle #1. Excellent and comfortable grip.

Just get both, that is the easiest decision to make.

Blue marble IMHO (if you don’t get both)!

I prefer a larger handle to keep my knuckles out of the soap so I'd likely opt for something else that's slightly larger.
If this doesn't bother you then, while I do like both, I prefer the look and handle shape of the blue marble one.

I have the blue marble handle. It is the most comfortable shape for me. And it looks pretty darn good.

thanks guys. It's looking like #1 in Ocean Mist...

I facelather only and would choose #2 for shape and material, lovely colors in that handle. Recently picked up a small shavemac in an Amber 4071 handle. The shape is displayed in the Brown - Black, Brown - Beige, Blue Marble pop ups. Really, fits the hand well. Just a suggestion...

Might think about a 48mm loft. 3 of 4 of my shavemac's run a mm or two longer than ordered with 1 right on. None of the 4 are short.

Pics and impressions when it arrives please! Take Care.

#1 imo

This is good information to know when ordering from Shavemac.

I like the shape of handle #1, but the color of handle #2.
