So, I've finally decided on my next brush... well, kind of. I've decided on a Shavemac for the following reasons:
However, after searching and browsing some of the old posts here regarding the Shavemac grades, I am unsure as to which grade to select (Finest or Silvertip). For those who have experienced both, perhaps you can give me some advice. I am looking for something with good backbone (not at all floppy) but with soft tips. I use creams 95% of the time.
So, the question is: Would the upgrade to silvertip be worth it? Is the difference in softness/backbone notable enough to justify the price difference?

- Bulb-shaped Head
- Price/Value
- U.S. availability, as Jim at Vintage Blades carries them
