    Default My new Shavemac 410 28mm

    Today my first badger brush arrived. It was a new years gift from my parents(by proxy, the gave me some money and I did and payed the rest). My first thought was "Holy ^$**&#&^, that's big" and the second was "that's soft!".

    I immediately whipped up some lather and was impressed by the lather it makes. Too bad I didn't want to shave till sunday..... choices choices..... Now I have to find an even larger bowl........

    Congrats, I have that exact brush, mine is almost 4 years old now and I have maybe lost 10 bristles throughout it's life...
    Hasn't missed a beat for backbone either....
    Works good on Soap or Cream

    Love it...

    Big big brush. watch out or you may loose control of that thing lol. I think im going with a big knot like that the next time I do a brush. Seems like it would feel good to shave with.

    Your post was one of the reasons to get it . However I can't really say that I've found the backbone yet... its really soft(but sturdy). But I'm used to a vintage boar and a synthetic one... So I'll learn to use it.
