I forgot to give an update on my brush last night. I have almost a half dozen shaves on it so far. Breaking it, and the Amici, in together. So it gets used every other day right now.
It is one of the denser brushes I have used (although I haven't used a ton). It has a great feel on the face, and I think I read that it will take a few shaves for that flow through to really shine.
I love the handle. It is so comfortable in the hand.
All in all, I can see why so many of you end up with more than one

This has probably been asked numerous times in this topic: Is it realistic to order a brush from Lee these days? Any tips? I'm looking for a dense brush (I prefer 2 band) for face lathering, what knot/loft size should I go for and what shape?
Guys, The M&F silvertip (3 band) is getting alot of praise. How much does it cost and is it worth it over a thater ?
There are many different models available and prices will vary from model to model. I can say that the prices are competitive with all major brands and I have been satisfied with the value of all of my purchases. Only you can say if it is worth it over another brush or not. With that being said, I have many 2-band M&Fs and enjoy them more than the 2-band Thater. That's not to undermine the quality of Thater, they are great, but that is my personal preference.

I am very fond of my M&F super 3 band. Pricing can vary depending on the size of the brush so you really just have to contact Lee for that. I have zero experience with Thater but what I've read about their brushes here hasn't made me want to try one.
Hey Everyone,
I have finished the M&F Wiki Page, located here: Link
The page has been set up so that the handle materials are at the top and the handle types are at the bottom.
It is as complete as I could get it. I didn't have dimensions on a few handles, so if you notice a brush that doesn't have something listed, let me know and I will add it - including any other handle materials you may have if I don't have it in there.

Any more tips?
Face, bowl, density, bulb, fan, price, size? also, have a look at nSmalls link to How to get good brush-picking-&-buying advice
or Edgerunner's What to consider when purchasing a brush
There are too many factors for people to choose a brush for you.
Contact Lee, tell him what you want and see what he suggests.

Any idea what his current contact information is?
Here's my advice: Get any M&F brush. It will be awesome. I've never heard of anyone being disappointed, and for some reason, M&F brushes defy all the rules. I'm not nuts about big brushes, but I have a huge 2XL Blonde that is amazing. I've got a long-handled Emillion that's supposed to be a "bowl lather" brush, but it's the best face-lather brush I have.
Truth is, Lee just has some sort of gift for making incredible brushes. I would (if I could afford it) buy any M&F brush and have zero doubts that it's incredible. Of course, if you can get in touch with Lee, he can help offer you some advice, but don't feel constrained to "follow the rules" when it comes to big, small, heavy, etc. They're all incredible.

Absolutely terrific work, Rob!
Since you don't seem to be looking for anything in particular just email Lee and see what he has in stock. Check this out before you speak to him so you understand what he is talking about:

If you're looking for a recommendation, a good place to start would be a 1/2, 24x50 fan shape in Blonde. It's a good all rounder and was my first M&F brush. Many people seem to enjoy it. Hope this helps.
