    Default Thater

    I just purchased a Thater 4125/2 Black Chubby Handle Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush, 26mm.

    I love the handle and I am due for a new brush. Anyone have one that could tell me how they like Thater brushes. Particularly this one. Thanks.

    I've got it in a 2 band with the white handle. Great brush with firm backbone but soft as butter tips. A pleasure to lather with.

    I don't know. I only have the two band. I would expect it would be typical of Thater .......... lot of backbone and soft tips ....... they don't make any bad brushes.

    No Thater's but I have this Semogue that I love if you can find one....firm, but soft. I also have a Simpson Commodore X2 Best Badger that is "scritchier" but a good latherer. I like both, but the Semogue is my favorite.

    This is it. Is this a 2 band or 3 band?

    Thater are my favorite brush knots. Just superb. I just wish they had handles more suited to bowl lathering.

    I don't own a Thater not an easy brush to source in the UK but I do like the look of the Thater 4125/1 Two Band with the fan shape knot must be a fan as I'm not a fan of bulb shape knots, in fact I've put my new Simpsons M6 up in the trade section looking for one of these brushes.

    I own one. Got from SRD. Love it. Not as densely packed as a Simpson chubby 3 but neither is the price. It's a great value for sure. You pay for value not hype
