I purchased this brush from an ebay member that custom makes these brushes. He even puts a magnet in the handle and includes a groovy little stand to hang it on
Price: At 55 Dollars for a Silvertip and 45 for Super Badger I would consider this brush a steal.
Quality: When I first got this brush and used it I only lost maybe 2 or 3 hairs and thats it. I have yet to lose anymore.
Density: This sucker is as dense as can be. Packed full of soft silvertip goodness.
Stiffness of tips: I wouldn't really call the tips stiff. I mean its not floppy moppy but its not exactly boar bristle stiff either.
Softness of tips: As soft as any other silvertip I suppose. Its a luxury on ones face.
Ergonomic:The handle is perfect for me. It fits perfectly in my hand and the contour is just right.
Latherability: This sucker will whip up a lather like nobodys business. I can take an almond size amount of lather, add a little water, and whip up a thick, moist meringue in about 20 passes around the bowl.
Overall this is my favorite brush to use, now when it comes to using soaps, I would have to stick with my Omega boar bristle simply because of the stiffness, but for any type of cream (which I mostly use) this is my goto brush.
