I guess you get what you pay for....
All,
My Satin Tip Purist, synthetic brush just disintegrated. I purchased this as a kit with a crappy Gold Dollar 208, and a piece of leather that they call a stop. I actually enjoyed the brush a little. It was soft, with just enough rebound to get a good lather. I did notice that I had to use a little more water, but I chalk that up to the fact that it was a synthetic knot. I made sure to thoroughly dry it after every shave, and I always hung it on a brush stand to allow the water to drain out of the knot. I never used overly hot water on it, and the weirdest part... It never shed a single fiber. Oh well, to each their own. I just might have to reach into the piggy bank to get enough money for a WD Silvertip.
Have any of you guys had any experience with this brush?
