I've recently purchased three brushes from three different manufacturers.
The first one is an Eseptum Silvertip brush from Ukraine, with beautiful hand crafted wooden handle (30x57).
The second is Envy Shave White Supreme 2 band badger with copper handle (24x52).
The third is Honey Farm Designs Two band finest (25x54)
Till now I've used just the Envy brush, so I will start with that one. What strikes you right away is the great backbone. All the backbone enthusiasts should definitely consider this knot. I also like the shape and feel of the handle. Nathan Clark is a great guy and you will get a great service from him.
The Eseptum brush is big. I expected the handle to look beautiful, but I was not sure how good the knot will be. It turned out to be a very pleasant surprise - the knot is extremely soft (one of the softest I've seen), dense, with nice backbone, zero scritch. This brush is definitely a high-class brush.
The Honey Farm brush has a nice grippy handle, and it also looks good. The knot, however, is not dense. That is a minus. It does, however, succeeds in having a reasonable backbone.
