And then we have:
We have a problem? Is the Muhle/EJ a soft and luxurious 3-band Silvertip imitation or is it a 2-band copy?
The v2 fibres (current production) feel very much like a plush silvertip to me.
Very soft, luxurious, and the most natural splaying synthetic brush I've ever used!
The v1 (discontinued 2012) has a bit of scrub like a two band or best badger.
I've got a Mùhle travel brush and was amazed at how soft and easy it was to make a lather. This after using a chubby 3.! It's a small knot, and I wonder if you can recommend a larger Mùhle or EJ.
I've had several 23mm silvertip fibre brushes but it wasn't until I got the 25mm size that I realized what I've been missing out for so many years!
The density and behavior of the knot is unbelievable on the XL version!
I've had over 50 synthetics over the last 2 years and the silvertip fibre XL is my #1 pick of the lot!!
