    Default heinrich.l thater

    i just received my heinrich L. Thater shaving brush from SRD.

    I just like to say the brush is absalutley beautiful to use. i heard they were good. i just had to try one.. Wow they just feel amzing when in action on my face. i have tryed some top brushers (silver tipped) this one just feels so so soft on my skin yet has plenty of strenght in the bristles , makes alovely lather .. highly recomended from me and thank you to donn and lynn for supplying such a high quality brush.

    i need to buy another one as a spear.

    I tried that once - anything bigger than a fly and you are going to have penetration issues.

    That's why you only buy the spears with the silvertip

    Gentlemen:
    Heinrich L. Thater brushes are exceptional. I have three silvertips, two 22 mm and one 24 mm. This morning, as I shaved with the 22 mm Thater, I was in awe of how exquisite this brush is. I felt as if I were smooching with an angel. I have Simpsons, Rooneys, Shavemacs and a few other ones. The Thaters, however, are in their own class, for me, anyway. Thanks to Lynn for stocking a good supply.

    Obie, do I remember correctly that you face-lather? as in needing heavy backbone? Would these be your pick for cost/performance? or maybe others you feel better?

    .
    Yes, I do. Indeed, they do have good backbone, and are densely packed. I use them both with creams and soaps. All are superb performers, and worth the money. Since they are handmade, no two are alike, and some will be denser than others. These silvertips are silvertips. None of the brushes I have — Simpson, Shavemac, Rooney, Vulfix and Semogue — disappoints when using soaps or creams. If I were left one only one choice for a shaving brush, however, it would have to be the 22 mm Thater — I don't remember the number, but I think it's 22 something, their version of the Chubby. Exquisite.

    The only Thater I have is the 2011 SRP LE, and it's a great brush. I have to admit that it was not an instant winner, as it seemed a bit fussy to use at first and took a little practice to master, but now it's a favorite.
