Completely agree - the Plisson HMW is an astounding brush, tips so silky, literally makes my skin tingle the touch is so soft, yet plenty of backbone to load from a hard puck. The one I have is the 10, 19mm diameter and 53mm loft.

I think that many miss the personal factor of an item. I have read the thread of your brush and understand why it has appeal to you!

This is a Shave nation brush that my son gave me a few years ago and until it wears out I have no desire to replace it. Not every morning but many I think of my son when I use it. At this rate I will be long dead before it wears out.

I have played with a few others but this one will always be the best!

I have many, but this one is my current favorite. Black and white ebony with a synthetic ivory top and a deep set 26mm high mountain white silvertip. Goes nice with a real ivory razor.

And that is a very nice set, brush and razor!

That is truly spectacular brush, can you share the specs of it? Who made it, details on the knot and where you sourced it....beautiful and thanks for sharing.

I have a couple that are really nice, but I have a clear winner as my favorite, sweetest brush

It's a Harrywally handle with a Shavemac knot, perfect backbone with tips that are soft enough yet great for face lathering. I have a feeling some of my great collection of handles are going to be seeing Shavemac knots.

I may have to see about one of those Saville row knots too. Tc




Sorry didn't have a picture of just the brush
