Whipped Dog has a silvertip knot (no handle) for $14. Looks good but looks can be deceiving. Does anyone have experience with the brushes on Whipped Dog?
I started with a Vulfix Pure Bristle and then added an Edwin Jagger Best Badger. I use both. The Jagger is comfortable but the smaller size of the Vulfix is easier to maneuver around the edges of my face.
I think I'd enjoy putting a slightly longer handle on the knot.
