I bought this brush knowing I was not going to keep it long. The specs on this 2-band brush are a diameter of 24mm with a loft of 55mm. I prefer brushes with a diameter of 26-28mm, and a low loft. However, I read numerous posts here and on other forums about how great this brush is, particularly at its $40.00 price point. I had to try it to see for myself.
I can now understand why this brush has received so much praise. It is an amazing value. In fact, in my mind, it is the best value available in 2-band brushes. Nothing even comes close in terms of value. The handle is lathe turned and not molded plastic. It has good heft to it and is well polished. This handle does not have the minor cosmetic blemishes one sometimes finds in lower priced lathe turned brushes. There is no glue visible at the top of the handle, or on the brush hairs. The knot is well formed and does not have a glue bump. There are no cosmetic issues with this brush, and it has not shed a single hair. The brush has been used 7 times and cared for extremely well.
In terms of performance, this knot has medium density and backbone. The hair is very soft with no scritch. It has a pillowy feel to it without the floppiness one would expect from a similar silvertip knot. The knot excels at creating and releasing lather. If this knot was set at a low loft, I would definitely keep this brush even though its diameter is smaller than what I prefer. Just an amazing brush for $40.00. The original listing is at:
