In terms of brushes, I dont have a silvertip. I have a best badger one and I have found it excellent. Personally if it were a choice between spending the money on the razor or on the brush, I'd spend it on the razor because thats going to affect your shave much more! And if you have a synthetic thats working for you then that should be fine.

For the razor, theres loads of choice for the money. I have a couple of DOVO's, a Black Star and a Bismarck and they are both fantastic. DOVO do a 6/8" with imitation tortoise shell that you can get from SRD. Or theres the Boker Edelweisse? I've read some great comments about them.

Anyone else have any good recommendations?

Whatever you get, post some pics and let us know how she shaves!

So many choices, eh Stubear? Enough to make your head spin. And I like the Bokers too. I always seem to, see a blade I like in antique shop, and find myself saying, 'oooooh, what kind is that?' And invariably, it's a Boker!
Thanks for the suggestions.
