So I started out with DE shaving about 2 years ago now and I decided it was time to upgrade from my first brush (some no name best badger) to something a little more, well more. So I looked around and, like a rookie, decided I wanted a silvertip. And I liked shavemac for a while so it was down to just deciding how big and what style. After measuring my first brush at around the 20-22mm range I decided I wanted bigger, enter the 208. This brush a totally luxurious 26mm silvertip that feels like heaven on the face. Densely packed, not floppy at all and has a fairly decent backbone for the size. Almost no scritch which may or may not be a bad thing depending on what you like. I ended up asking for it in a black handle (better to match my schwarzweisskeramik scuttle) and overall a great brush. Price was a little much but I figured you only live once and lifes too short not to spoil yourself once in a while. Highly recommend this brush to anyone that likes the feel of a nice silvertip.
