This is pretty much me as well. My BK4 and Semogue 620. These are simply the only brushes I have used in years.Rufus wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 6:15 pm I only face-lather and I find the Kent BK4 an excellent brush for lathering. As far as I’m concerned, the shavemac 3-band silver tip, Simpson (Colonel) best badger, Muhle silvertip, Semogue 3-band silvertip, VP Leonhardy 3-band silvertip and other similar brushes are excellent for face-lathering. On the other hand, I find most of the 2-band silvertips can’t compete with the aforementioned for face-lathering. Dense, high backbone brushes don’t make the grade with me.
I do have a super-badger C&E branded brush which is actually an Edwin Jagger product -- as well as a few others, but the two listed above are the only ones I have been using for a very long time.
