It's size is perfect for how I attempt to create lather and it's not a suds hog as larger brushes seem to behave for me.

For those of you on the fence, go for it. These are fine brushes.

I gave my new Thäter 4292 23mm a try both last night and tonight. I definitely agree about it not being hungry for suds. Its a nice medium size and loft. The knot has an incredibly soft feel on the face without losing all of its backbone.

It performed well lathering some Calypso Bomb in a Moss scuttle last night. However tonight, it face lathered some Tabac like a champ. I wasn't a big fan of face lathering....but in the name of putting a new brush through its paces I gave it a whirl. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it this time.

I also give this brush a big thumbs up.

I just got one of the big ones. Absolutely fantastic value for money. Review is here.

Straight from the box:


SRD "Lavender" - 20 swirls:


SRD "Lavender" - 80 swirls:


More images here. Absolutely best value for money in the brush department if you ask me.

oh... i'm digging the 4747.. where are you guys ordering from?

now there is only 6.. i'm guessing the 4747 isn't too popular either.. with a 19mm knot.

Getting back on track:

@ShavedZombie
If you are interested in the 4125 "Chubby" Series of Thater Brushes. I would recommend a 24mm "Chubby II" 4125/1 Thater brush. I recall you mentioned that you have large hands in a previous post. I own the 4125/0 22mm brush and have, at best, average hands. I find that brush comfortable, but wouldn't mind a larger handle. If you have larger hands, I think a 24mm and up brush may fit you better. YMMV

Thread is locked for a day. Let's cool off and get back on topic.

*EDIT- Reopened. Let's play nicely.

I have the Chubby 3 and it's highly recommended at 26mm. If SRD doesn't stock it or can't order for you get it from Germany. The different scent will ship and they have a complete inventory though shipping is expensive and can be long in coming and if you don't read German navigating the site to order can be a tad difficult.

When people say these brushes are soft... do you mean floppy? How do these compare to Rooney and Simpsons of the same knot size?

Did you actually read http://straightrazorpalace.com/brush...ilver-tip.html ?

Does anyone know how the cheaper 4419 compares to the rest of the pack?
