shavemac pure badger
Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2016 3:28 am
For some time I've been thinking of ordering a shavemac pure badger brush; probably a 22/50 fan-shaped knot. I'm hesitating because I have yet to understand how prickly and stiff the shavemac pure badger is. Currently I have a Somerset-era Simpson Duke2 with a pure badger knot that I quite like; it has a bit of prickle, but it is not unpleasant; however, I find the loft a bit on the low side. I own 4 shavemac brushes and like them all: Beehive bulb-shape finest, 410 bulb-shape 3-band silvertip, 410 flat-shape 3-band silvertip, and TSR 2015 Xmas LE bulb-shape 2-band. I only lather on my face and use creams predominantly. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with the shavemac pure badger, particularly on its prickle and stiffness/backbone.
