No doubt Pixel,,, many members with more experience than I, have ranked her at the top.

But,,,,

The 6 Renegades will be no push overs either,,,,

To the OP,

Look in the Classifieds,

Pix has a Lignum/ Ivory, 24mm TNG Finest, 2 band for a little over a hundred… an absolute steal.

You will not regret it, even if it is 5 bucks over your budget.

So we are gonna have ourselves at front row seat at Hirlaus Gunfight at the South Floridian Shave Shop.

I wish there was such a place,,,,,
I'm actually going out today to try a new barber shop, I'll let you know later about it.

I have a few brushes. But the two I rely on the most are my Thater and the brush I purchased from pixelfixed. I do mix in the other brushes , but these are my go-to ones.

It is my position firmly stated " I will not buy another brush until AFTER Hirlau's posted results." End Quote.
Till the smoke settles and the shave bubbles pop there will be no other purchases. Final Answer
Just lather standing on one leg with your non dominate hand and twenty other made up hand tying rules. Your test ,Your rules
You got the pistols so you keep the pesos , yeah that seems fair.

First ,,,I would like to apologize for the time it took to finish my commitment to test some brushes. I stated 30 days & it turned to 3 months.

Here is a link to the page where I did some simple lathering tests with 9 brushes & 4 creams/soaps. There are no surprises here, but going through the tests, clearly set my priorities for future brush purchases.

I cannot begin to Thank-you enough.
You are the epitome of Scientific Expertise in following a routine and equal and fair evaluation.
In Medical Terms it could be reffered to as a Double Blind Evaluation and Study.
The level of detail and explanation of soaps to bristle density can only be defined as All Inclusive.
The time and effort with documentation can only be summed up as Meticulous and Attention to detail.
If I say any more I will appear as a suck-up.
Done
Thank-you John for going above and beyond the call of Duty.
I will base my future purchases based solely on these facts .
I dont need more I wish to maximize my Brush & Soap combination for maximum quality.

Your too kind,,, there are no real surprises there,,,,my "Scientific Expertise" begins & ends with the knowledge of, "What goes up, eventually will come down and usually lands on someone's head."

I should have mentioned for purposes of the opening post,,,, "5" of the nine brushes sold for under $100.00.
