Today I received a 30mm D-01 silvertip brush from Shavemac. It is the finest shave brush I have ever seen (I only own about 18). It is huge with soft tips and a stiff backbone. It makes my Simpson Chubby 2 from Simpson look like its for a child. The quality of the badger is a 2-band black base with almost white tips.


I like large brushes with tall handles as it is easier for me to grip the whole base in my palm as opposed to holding the brush with my fingertips. I do a 3-pass shave with a scuttle and like the extra length of the handle/brush to avoid clacking the brush on the sides of the scuttle.


Only downside is that if you properly load the brush you have enough shave lather for 800-1000 shaves (hyperbole).


A monster........but a gorgeous monster.


P.S. The service from Bernd at Shavemac is superb.
