now that i have a bk8 i would not go back to a bk4. too small for me. consider saville row also. very good brushes

it's so mild it's difficult to tell. it doesn't offend and is like a very mild mwf absent of the perfuminess, with a faint sense of cardboard

got my puck today and can say that i'm impressed. lathers easily and gives a very creamy lather. highly recommended. thanks

i like the size of the bk8 better than the 4. does a great job

something is happening here! for some reason i have used the bk8 every day now and i don't know why. i used it just now on a new puck of mwf and i will say wendell, the bk8 made a lamb out of a bear!

ron, i've had 2 thaters and they were vastly different from each other. the 3 banded thater was the softest bristle brush i've ever experienced. the finast bristle was more like a 2 band brush. both were more dense than the kent. if i would rate my current brushes they would be: soft tips, 1) savile...

yes gordon, i did notice really fine bristles

my bk8 arrived today! some say the bk8 is too large. not for me it ain't! it's not as dense as a shavemac or savile row but more similar to a vulfix. i immediately took it to a shaved puck of arko. not a difficult job for a first lather and found the brush to make lather easily and with a very good ...

sale pending. thanks

i like mwf since i realized you really have to load the brush well. but,,it seems that mfw has the most cushion of any product i've tried. so much so, that i don't get a close shave. anyone else with this experience??

i do circular and finish with a paint brush stroke with each application. circular is rewarding,sensually, but paint brush strokes seem to unload the lather better.

just bought a new bk8 off ebay for a nice price. hope i like it. my favorite brush knots are shavemac and saville row so i should like this one.

steve, i usually prefer a 26-28mm. knot. my long handle shavemac is a 22x60 and am suprised that seems as larg as the other brushes. you are familiar with a shavemc knot so i assume you can expect the same king of density and face feel. the other brush you mentioned, especially the rooney, will be a...

clive

that model is discontinued but they still make a very similar model. there are other brushes than simpson

try shavemac. sorry for the lousy pic. not used to this new site

thaters are good. take a look at savile row also. both will do the job

i don't think so.

i tried the razor and cartridge blades from harrys.com and must say i was impressed. i was looking for a brainless, effortless type of shave a cartridge can deliver. the gillette proglide was ok but didn't give a close shave as a de does and the price was stupid, to say the least ;-). i was hoping h...

i prefer the feel of my omega boar over any of my badgers but the badgers make a better lather and hold more lather also. the only exception is when i use the palmolive shave stick. i shred it into a bowl. with the boar it makes a really great lather. as good as a badger can do.
