Today I received several goodies in the mail. First my order off the Bay for this Frank Shaving 26mm/52mm loft Extra Dense Silvertip Brush. This thing is huge!! It has a nice weight to it. I haven't test lathered it yet. They threw in the small brush which appears to be boar. It seems to be about 20-21mm and maybe 55mm or so on loft. They also threw in the cleaning cloth and a styptic pencil. Not a bad deal for the $49 I paid for it. I just hope it performs well. Here's the pic:

That's a nice looking brush! Hopefully it's not too floppy and has a bit of backbone.
Great pickup for the price. I've heard some good stuff about FS brushes. Some say they rank around the same level as Lijun or better. I hope it performs well.

A couple test lathers with both my new brushes. The Muhle synthetic is unbelievably soft, yet still not floppy and has backbone. I really am going to like this brush. There is no breaking it in. It's not real hair 
the FS brush is a nice big brush and may need a bit of breaking in test lathers, but I think will perform nicely for a large brush. Here's the pics with some Erasmic that I broke the top off of as I rearranged the shave den while trying to get better organized.

Nice FS! Hope you like it! I used mine today with Proraso Red and laughed as I noticed brush is way bigger than tub!
Got three FS brushes, The synth one is great but my faux horn tubby Finest is brilliant. YOurs looks great by the way.

FS brushes used to be crazy cheap. Now you can get a nice big silvertip from Larry for way less. Lijun beats FS prices for the same size and grade of brush. Still FS brushes are not a bad price, but not as good as it used to be.
