I recently received a Fine badger from SRP from my mother for a birthday, definitely no comparison to my VDH cheapies. They are permanently shelved. And if I remember it was only ~$40. Definitely worth it.
Obie, once again - thank you for your kind help. I appreciate it.
A Thater is one of the next purchases on my list. Threads like this make me want to pull the trigger this instant!!
I love my three-band silvertip, 49125/0, although I might consider getting one size bigger, it would likely help my bowl lathering. Beautiful, very soft and still plenty of backbone.
I helped my brother install windows in his house and he bought me one as a thank you gift. I thought it was rather extravagant till I felt it on my face the first time. it was love after that! My oldest son told me there was no way any brush was worth that kind of money, so I let him try it...LOL..he said it was like sex on your face..I almost fell down laughing. 4125-2 26mm bulb.
I have the srp Thater, every said get one you won't be disappointed, well after the first time i used there was much disappointment.....in all my other brushes. I just have an urge to use my old brushes anymore i have to force myself to use them lol, i well probably get another one at one point
My son expressed interest in getting some quality shaving gear (16 year old). So with Christmas coming up I am putting together a shaving kit for him. I have the Merkur Heavy Duty, the Proraso soap, and the Shavemac Silver tip badger brush (that I used for the last 4 years) lined up for him. I took this opportunity to update my brush and got the Thater two band finest bulb in olive wood. Beautify brush! The olive wood (like people say "signature scent" in the perfume industry) is now my signature wood - if that makes any sense. What a difference this brush makes. The Shavemac, while a good and adequate brush, is sloppy and floppy compared to this. The Thater makes a richer, denser lather while feeling soft, but not floppy, on the face. I am very happy with it. The wife is happy with it too. I let her use my brush to shave what ladies shave.
Congratulations and will we see pictures!
