Handmade Australian Shaving Brush
Okay, I am new to the straight razor. Been doing it for whole 2 weeks now. In that time I have been using a old "Body Shop" brush I have had kicking around for a few years to lather up.
Anyway, after doing some research here I decided to pull the pin on this Silvertip Badger hair Shaving brush AUSSIE BURL WOOD 77 - eBay (item 280403308883 end time Oct-24-09 23:16:32 PDT)
It arrived last night.....I tried it this morning....OMG!!!!! It made lather that looked like perfectly whipped egg whites......it was awesome. Seriously, I couldn't believe I would get excited about lathering for a shave!!!!
Just waiting for some blades to be honed up and SOTD here I come!!!

Exact same brush
Sly,
Great buy, I just received exactly the same brush, well the wood anyway. I'd be intersted in knowing about your lather technique though. I already have a "pure" badger brush but bought one from Bryce to see the difference, with a silver top. I gotta say I'm a little disapointed in the lather from my new brush. The pure badger gave me a great lather straight on my face but the silver top seems very dry and needs dipping in water to get a lather that is not even half as good as the so called lesser brush. I haven't changed anything regarding lather technique so I'm wondering if the silver top requires a diffent technique to the pure. I must say though that the silver top feels like wiping silk across my face.

Sly,
I normally lather straight on my face. I have been thinking about it today and I am wondering if the silver top isn't hydrating enough in my skuttle. The knot is far larger on the silver top compared to my other badger brush, and that may be the problem. I use a soap, you? And yes it is absolutely smooooth and that is why I want to find out what I am doing wrong.
