Anybody got any experience? Are they as good as they say they are?
Thater Shaving Brushes

They seem to be very well liked. However, there's a chap on here who had a wee issue with one of the boars.

I have several 2-band silvertips. All are excellent. These are soft with no scritch, good flow through and respectable backbone for silvertips.

I have the 4376/3 Silver Tip. It is an excellent brush. It is by far the softest brush I own. I have noticed that it is starting to lose hairs with each shave, anywhere from 1-5. It is it is almost 5 years old so I'm not sure if this is typical or not. Other than that, it is a really fine brush.
I'm a Thater fan. I have 3: 49125/0 3-band (Plexi), 4125/1 2-band (white) and 4125/2 2-band black . My recommendation is to go 2-band and one size up from your preferred size in other brushes. The /0 22mm Thater is good with creams and soft soaps, but too small with harder soaps. The larger 24-26mm 2-bands are great.

Firstly, boar brushes are a fairly recent addition to their line-up.
I own two Thäter (two- and three-band) silvertips and they are quite nice, but if you follow Thäter instructions to the latter you will find quite a few “don’ts” that other manufacturers don’t seem to mind.
One of the brushes turned out to be a shedder and I had it replaced.
All in all, while I do like them, I find that Shavemac sells brushes that have the same strengths as Thäters, but none of the weaknesses or (brush care) restrictions.

+1!! Great suggestion!! Their badgers are well regarded.
I've got a 2 band bulb 4125. It has scritch when swirling but fine painting. I would get a fan if I were to get another.
I have Thater Funf, 2 band Silvertip..Really soft,and I really love it , but less backbone than Simpson Chubby 2 for example
Big fan of Thater brushes... I actually like them much more than the 3 or 4 Paladin brushes I've owned.
The Thater Funf is a great place to start

That's my brush
I just posted a picture of it upside down 30 minutes ago:Razor & Brush Stand
New to this, but I like it - also had a shavemac, but it felt too big for my face - this feels the right size!
I like Thater but normally appreciate brushes that have more backbone or face feel.
That is one perfect brush! If I ever buy one, it will be like that. 2 band, butterscotch and beehive.....awesome.I have Thater Funf, 2 band Silvertip..Really soft,and I really love it , but less backbone than Simpson Chubby 2 for example
