That is an awesome lineup already but let me tell you the journey never ends, especially when you have all these great companies releasing new and interesting products every few months. Glad you're loving the hobby I wish you many great shaves my friend.

Thanks bud yeah the color really pops compared to all my other natural toned brushes. Also, the price is nice.
Pic from Shavemac website.
Just ordered. Shavemac silvertip 2 band. 23mm knot, 48mm loft. Blue 173 style handle. Hopefully it's my face lathering dream. I also have 3 NOS Semogues coming in from Portugal. 2 "barrel type" handles and one smooth half painted. What a way to start 2017. On a brush bender.
Great thread!

that is awesome congratulations on that, it's a beauty. It ain't coming to my house but I'm also psyched about it. LOL
Thanks mdwolfie86. I planned on getting the Shavemac, but the Semogues popped up on ebay and I couldn't resist. Old Semogues are nice to find. Especially 3 NOS ones that were cheap.

Hahaha believe me when I say I would have done the same. Cheers!Thanks mdwolfie86. I planned on getting the Shavemac, but the Semogues popped up on ebay and I couldn't resist. Old Semogues are nice to find. Especially 3 NOS ones that were cheap.
So I received my new Whipped Dog Silvertip today and though I haven't tried it yet I am very excited to shave. That will have to wait until tomorrow though... I had Larry set it 10mm further into the brush so its not so floppy. I think it had a good feel to it fresh out of the package. It has good backbone to it and the tips are silky soft. I expected it to be very skritchy being set so low, but its not. I am sure it will still bloom very well just the way it is. I did notice that there really wasn't any kind of odor to the bristles like I've read in a lot of threads and just expected it to be horrid, but as I said, it has no odor at all to it. Maybe that will change after it gets some water in it, don't know. Here's a couple pics... Don't know why they posted sideways, but oh well...
Got this one on the way to me now. Won it on Ebay, along with an Old Spice mug to go with it. I don't know how good the brush will actually be, but this is only the second one I've seen on Ebay in the past month or two.
I have a thing for Tortoise Shell and just couldn't resist the one listed in the marketplace.

That looks awesome! Hope the loft works out good for you. I would think so as silvertip usually splays quite a bit let us know how it works for you, it's a great looking brush.

wow! Whatta beaut. Good thing you seen it first or else it'd be me posting t here LOL congratulations amigo.
That is so cool. That will make a nice decoration in the den along with the mug.
So today was very exciting as I was able to use my new WD24 and to say I was impressed would be an understatement. It lathered up really easy and though it felt quite large at 1st, I think this will definitely be in my regular rotation. Quite impressed for sure. Here is an afterwards pic and also one with my previous daily that will have to share the honors now...
I have one of his deep set silvertips also. Mine was a little skritchy, but this thing becomes quite soft and pleasant after just a couple of uses. You're going to love this brush. Congrats.
