Thread: 22 mm brush for cream

Is a 22 mm silvertip brush big enough to use in a shave bowl with cream??

I don't see why not. I've been using a 22mm bb brush with great results with both soaps and creams.

Absolutely! The only problem I have with brushes is trying to use one of my larger brushes with a soap in a wooden bowl. It gets a bit messy.

I use a 20mm knot with my creams.

I have a 21mm Muehl ST that works will with cream w/ or w/o a bowl.

Size is a matter of personal preference. I personally like brushes that are 24mm +

Any good brush should be able to create lather with soaps and creams. 22mm brush of good quality will do a fine job.

I really like thr brush so far. Do you think I am ruining it by using truefit and hill pre shave oil?? I just read that it might damage a badger brush.

No. If you notice it is not holding water as it should, give it a thorough shampoo.
