Hello,
I hope you’re doing well !
I need your help crafting my dream brush
Here’s my story : The road to the perfect shave for a very sensitive skin : An ongoing odyssey - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/the-road-to-the-perfect-shave-for-a-very-sensitive-skin-an-ongoing-odyssey.610193/
For the material of the handle : I’m looking for something beautiful and I like black so I was thinking of bog oak (I love the design of my Feather WS-D2S)
For the shape of the handle, I need your help :
- I bowl and face lather
- I just ordered a Pereira shaving bowl
- I have long hands/fingers
- The M7 handle from Simpsons is inconfortable for me because too skinny
- I like the chubby 2 handle because wider : I pinch it with 3 fingers and the base of the handle rest in the top of the palm of my hand, allowing a good and stable grip
- I find it difficult to bowl lather with the chubby 2 only if using a small bowl
- I think I would prefer the Chubby 3 handle, but they don’t make it with platinum fiber, only sovereign that is less soft
- I think I now prefer more backbone than not enough, specially when bowl lathering (Chubby 2 > M7 (Simpsons Synthetic))
For the bristle :
- What would be the best/softest tips in your opinion ?
- Having sensitive skin, I only face lather with synthetic
- Should I consider something else than synthetic ?
- I haven’t tried anything else than the platinum synthetic from Simpsons (Chubby 2 & M7), and a silvertip parker without backbone
Thank you !
