I bought an olive wood handled silver tip MP a year ago from Nashville Knife Shop. Set me back $100. Olive wood feels nice first thing in the morning. No complaints so far.

I just recently purchased a Muehle-Pinsel Classic Set with a Silvertip Badger brush from BathandBodyNet for $202.00 and I am truly happy with this brush set, especially since other vendors sell this exact same set for over $100 more!
I'm still a newbie, but I ordered one a while back and it works very well. Anything from my cheap boar bristle would be, but I really like it. In fact, I bought it on Ebay and the seller sent me a second two weeks later by mistake. I emailed him and he just told me to enjoy the second brush! I will eventually try a step up in quality, but this one seems to do the trick just fine.
I had a Muhle 21mm Silvertip that I liked a lot, they're great brushes

I also have a nice Muhle Pinsel Silvertip with a horn knob and thought I should share as many already posted pictures of their gems. That brush is awesome to face lather!

Nice brush Luc. Where did you get it?
Yep - count me in.
I have a custom built Muhle (did everyone notice that this is actually a *very* attractive option at the Muhle site?).
I have an Olive ahndle, silver tip. I think it is a great brush.
Like to think of it as my 'in-house standard'.
It doesn't come much better in terms of build quality, and I think it is a very luxurious brush.
And of course, I am a sucker for olive wood - that may help also ;-)

So how do you like the M89 brush? It looks beautiful, and of course is a great match with the Muhle razor.

I agree, looks Great but how is the weight of the Handle? I have a couple of Bleached Boars and the Bristles are very nice, Firm Backbone & the tips are softening quickly. My one complaint is with the Faux Marble Plastic Handle which is Extremely light... and HOLLOW, I only know it's hollow because the knot fell out after two weeks of use & no evidence of any epoxy was used. I'm deciding whether to weigh the Handle or order another from Rudy or I'm leaning toward the Golden Nib, right now it's sitting on top of my free standing Bedroom Closet drying out. Second Brush Handle is a Rubberized Green & Grey Handle with good weight.

Well, I went with a Black Acrylic handle from TGN, should contrast nicely with the Blond Bristles. I also ordered a 22mm Black Badger for the Grey & White Plastic Handle and I'll add a bit of weight before setting the BB knot, this should contrast nicely with the Handle and boost my brush count up to 9...again. SBAD, gotta love it!
Just thought I'd bump this up to see if anyone has any thoughts about the Muhle M89 brush.
Bit heavy for a small brush. Feels very solid.
And one thing it doesn't feel is cheap and light.
