I started wetshaving 8 years ago and the first brush I bought was the L’octane Plisson and that’s what I used exclusively for about 7 years so I’m accustomed to softer brushes. I also have a beard so only shave my neck which is where my skin is most sensitive and I always face lather.
The urge finally hit me a few months ago to try other brushes. The first one I grabbed was a used 24mm Shavemac Finest Badger off of BST and I loved it so much that it made me want to go further. The next brush I grabbed was a used 24mm Shavemac 2 band silvertip. The general consensus here seemed to be it is among the best you can get so that’s the way I went.
I’ve used it daily for about a week now trying to learn to like it and I’m just not there yet. It feels very scratchy when I face lather with it. Tonight I went back to the Finest badger brush and enjoyed it a lot more. I’m planning to keep the 2 band and I’ll try it periodically in case I grow to like it but I want to try something else.
Given the background I provided, would a 3 band silvertip be worth trying out?
