Received my Shavemac brush last night and I have to tell you that I am quite impressed with its density and it's ability to hold water. Enjoy the pictures:

Soaking the Brush:

Letting it drain. Tons of water!:

Push and Twist. A little too hard. I'm used to the soft bristles of the Vulfix:

Yikes! That's a lot of cream!:

Next to the Vulfix (Vulfix is on the right):

I'm very impressed with this brush. I was surprised that its base was actually shorter than my Vulfix but, wow!, are the hairs dense. It holds a lot of water and I'm going to have to get better at the correct water to cream ratio. My favorite attribute of the brush is that it is a lot firmer when applying cream to your face. To me it just feels like I'm exfoliating more and getting the cream to spread better on my face.

2 thumbs up!

Thanks for the balanced review, DesertRat. If you could follow up with a longer range analysis and discussion after using it for a few weeks, I think it would provide a nice addition to the "literature" of shaving brushes.

Thanks.

Hey Desert Rat
Thats a great brush, and a design i thought might be nice for the SMF brush 2 or one that i might get myself.
Would it be possible to post another picture, now that it is fully bloomed, next to that Vulfix again from the side view. Also, could you describe your impressions of the bristles strength and softness.
Thanks,
