Folks,

I initially bought the 2006 B&B Ebony Finest Silvertip brush for my one 'good' brush. I was underwhelmed at how fluffy it was. I found it similar to brushing my face with a cotton swab. So, I traded this with another fellow for his 2006 B&B Ebony Regular Silvertip brush. I have shaved with it for a week or so now, and I feel the same way. It is slightly better, but not by much. In fact, I still prefer my Proraso/Omega brush over this one by a long shot. It is definately a luxurious feeling, but not my cup of tea. I am entertaining trading it once again for something more stiff or 'scritchy' as someone once described them. I am open to all nice brush types, Shavemac, Plisson, Vulfix, etc... Not being knowledgeable about brushes, I think what I might be looking for is shorter or stiffer bristles and maybe a smaller knot. If you have something nice to trade, give me a shout and we can talk.

Thanks,
John
