Hey gents, I'm looking at purchasing a Thater and was hoping someone on here could shed some informative light for me. So far I've only used 24mm silvertips but this one caught my eye.

now I know it's a fan shape which works out for me as my 2 other silvertips are both bulbs. But anyone with experience with 30mm knots? Are they truly too massive to really use in practical settings? Is it harder to control the lather? Does it eat up soaps(which might not be that bad as the significant other stated no more soaps until I start finishing off my current lot)? Any feedback would be appreciated. Also, depending on the feedback I receive, I might default to this brush:

sorry one more question. What are the differences in the Thaters that cause the differences in price. I obviously understand that 2 band and 3 band will be different, but with those aside, with knot size alike, I've seen thaters range from $125-$200 for the same knot. Are the hairs different grade? Bc they all say finest silvertip. Thanx guys.
