Hey fellas, Do we know when the brushes will start shipping? I am in no rush but curious if they all ship at once, Shavemac is waiting for a certain number of orders, etc...

SharpieB I do not have an answer to that at the moment. When I do it will get posted right here pronto.

 

[FoolishMortal]

I'm a little surprised that this has lost steam. Was there a limit of 40 or something?

If nothing else...bump.

 

[Kyle89]

I’m sure some more people will pop in. It’s a pretty darn impressive list though as is.

 

[Leverspro]

Nice work. Tempted. I'd really like an Eagle type handle, but I already have the Shavemac bulb and don't really want a second one.

 

[old_school]

@Leverspro you can choose either fan or bulb.

Not enabling or anything but...

I totally understand your situation. Luckily there are Butterscotch Fans STILL AVAILABLE. Wow, you got Lucky and dodged that “double bulb” issue. LOL Sorry, my enable button must have got stuck in the GO position.
Good luck with your decision.

There are still Beagles available. Actually 40 is an extraordinary number of brushes sold and paid for this quickly. We are pleasantly surprised and grateful to you and the other members who've already bought one.

Yup. I set myself up for that one! A butterscotch fan would be great, no doubt.

Just in case post #143 above for easy access to shavemac order page.

 

[wazabees]

Looks like the group buy ends on Friday. Get 'em while they're hot!

 

[Owen Bawn]

The Beagle Group Buy will be ending this Friday, 28 May. You still have time to purchase a Beagle, but time is running short!

Okay, you got me at the time when I'm actually looking for upscaling my badger from the baseline one I got a while ago. Now my only question is advantages of fan vs bulb...

Oh and a fluffernutter is always a viable option for all meals... Yup born and bred in New England.

Oh and it looks like we've only got until tomorrow to order

 

[wazabees]

Now my only question is advantages of fan vs bulb...

Whoops, too late did I notice you asked about the advantages of fan vs bulb! Bjm already wrote a great explanation below, and it's the same one I read to make my decision. I went with bulb for "a more controlled application". I figured it'd help, as I do have a goatee.

Now my only question is advantages of fan vs bulb...

I'm no expert on the subject, but this is from Shavemac's Product Advisor Brush Head Shapes page:

Bulb Shape: A blub shaving brush is bound in such a way that the brush hairs become shorter and shorter towards the outside. The shorter hairs support the inner longer hairs. This gives the shaving brush more backbone (a higher strength when shaving) and allows a more controlled application.

Fan Shape: A fan shaped shaving brush has outer hairs that are similar in length to the inner hairs of the knot. Therefor more hairs are in direct contact with the skin. A fan shaped brush head also allows more soap to be absorbed, which is beneficial for lathering the face.

Flat Shape: A flat shaving brush has longer outer hairs than inner hairs of the knot. This makes them especially suitable for foaming up soap. However, a flat shaped head has less backbone than a bulb shaped head.

Well let us know what you decide so we can add your name to the Beagle Pack.

Now my only question is advantages of fan vs bulb...

In a nutshell, Bulb will have more backbone, splay less, have a smaller face feel (as if it were a smaller knot), and more scrub.

Given the hair offered in this brush is a 2-band, which naturally offers more stiffness and backbone, I would go for the fan, but keep in mind that a large group of gents in the forum prefer bulb
