New Maseto brush

[Reevers]

I dont think 6 hairs from a knot can be regarded as a shedder surely? If it was shedding 6 hairs per shave then yeah its a shedder like a Simpsons I had. It started out losing one or two then it ended up like Telly Savalos.

Mine is losing 6 hairs each shave, used the brush again today and another 6 hairs had to be fished out of my lather.

If I'd dropped £100+ on a Shavemac and it was losing half a dozen hairs per shave, then I would have sent a message to Bernd. So I figured I'd do the same with Nick at Maseto. Nick was prompt and hassle free to deal with.

You have to ask yourself.......is it really better or is it the name. Might be a way out

I'm usually a logical person. But logic seems to go out of the window when it comes to shaving products.

Perhaps we should form a support group.

Ha! And I think we would have to 'out' all the enablers.

Nick couldn't afford to keep the offer with all these replacement brushes he's having to send out

How many of those sent to "Oh no, mine is a shedder!", after first shave - badger newbies

I couldn't stay away from it. I've test lathered again the 24 mm finest Maseto with the DR Harris Windsor soap. I've loaded a lot and still had bad lather.
I then tried again, this time loading even more and I've noticed that the brush splays a little bit, just enough to create a sort of a bald spot in the center. I thought that the spot might limit the soap loading, so I began loading the sides of the knot. This is the result with a few drops of water:

Is the brush new? In my experience new badgers eat lather until they're broken in.

Make a short video showing us your technique and the resulting lather...

Yes, it is a new brush and it does eat lather.
