If I had to use only one shaving brush from now on, I would use......

[Noodles]

Right now....this one. 21mm x 50mm. You can't really tell from the pic, but it's a bulb. Super soft on the face, yet just enough backbone to handle hard soaps.

Cool. Thanks for this.

I do have a Razorock Barrel 24 in Silvertip. Nice brush but it is super dense and holds a ton of lather.

I am assuming this one is a Zenith?

I can't say for sure but they sure look similar. The Manchurian holds a ton of lather too (if that helps).

You guys are killing me!

I need one of these now. Is Yourshaving.com the best place to buy one?

p.s. I am in Canada and there is no Zenith reseller that I am aware of..

Yes, I got it from them

Yes, gentleshave sells to Canada, and is a lot faster than yourshaving in Portugal, but they are more expensive and less choice. They also use different model numbers. My fav brush maker is Zenith. Really like the unbleached. But wish I'd got it in the olive wood handle.

Here’s The Gentle Shave’s cross reference between his model numbers and Zenith’s.

The Gentle Shave to Zenith Code Cross Reference

Michael Freedberg has a wonderful wet shaving YouTube channel. I used to watch his videos as I was learning to shave with a DE razor. Recently he was looking for to purchase a Zenith B03-A26. He couldn't find it and settled on the B2 that I carry. When he received it, he was pleasantly surprised...

Pairing it down to one brush would be a difficult decision.
I love my boars but I would probably choose a synthetic.

Recently I got one of the newer Omega synthetic brushes with a wooden handle and it is wonderful but I am one of those oddballs that likes the Omega S-Brush too.

Synthetic brushes are so convenient and work so well but I still love the feel and performance of my boars so if I can choose between the two then I might be able to choose one brush.
