Gorgeous. Would really like to have an Elite handle. How much does that brush weigh?

- Start date
126 gm - still damp.
Another brush received - Yaqi Highmountain Silvertip badger, 24 mm. This brush does not have the backbone that my more expensive badgers have. I suspect the term "Highmountain Silvertip" is just a marketing phrase that the Chinese manufacturer uses. But the brush lathers well and has a nice soft feel. It will be a user.

My understanding has been that silvertips by nature have less backbone, but have a softer face feel than some lesser grades.

Both look great!
You are going to have a very stressful few days trying to decide which one of your many new brushes to use each day.
Let us know your thoughts on both.
I love my Spiffo brushes and will have my 4th by the end of next week.
Rudy will have to wait until the border opens up and I can get to my PO Box as I want a Badger and he doesn’t ship them out of the US.

I seriously considered buying that handle. It is a beauty!
Those are some seriously nice brushes. I will just live vicariously through you if you don’t mind.
Do not mind at all, but it is more fun joining in

That's what she said.
Thanks. It's quick become my favorite.
Here's my new Shavemac (30 mm Silvertip 2-Band). It was an exercise in patience as I had to order an extra-wide stand for it from Maggard to accommodate the large handle size after the brush arrived. I didn't want to use the brush until I had the proper setup. It was worth the wait, though.

Fumbling about.
If I'd known how much I was going to like this stainless steel brush stand I would have acquired it earlier. Yesterday's brush spends a day enjoying it. |
Happy shaves,

This RazoRock Chubby Extra Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush arrived today. It has an olive wood handle and the knot is called out at 27.5 mm.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
This is the last shaving thing I am going to buy!

Those Yaqi two colour handles look really nice, and the prices I've been seeing on them are nice too, do they sell just handles? Or has anybody tried taking the knot out and putting their own in?
