I have two maseto brushes 24mm & 26mm 2 band finest that I rate highly so I decided to buy another and this time I went for a 30mm 2 band finest badger as the 26mm was out of stock. The brush arrived this week and the first thing I noticed was it didn't come in a maseto box, I remember the maseto box would be inside a standard box. Not a big problem but noticeable.
I was very much looking forward to using the brush, the first observation was that the tips felt too soft and it lacks backbone.... it has less backbone than my 24mm 2 band finest, it feels like Silvertips. After 3 shaves I've decided to send it back. It is a beautiful brush but I really don't like Silvertips. I thought to swap it for a Captain 26mm 2 band Finest but Nick says the Captain has the same hair type as the one I have just received.
I was wondering if anybody has purchased a 2 band Finest and noticed the lack of backbone and tips too soft.
I did say to Nick that I thought he sent me a Silvertip but he didn't reply the question.... maybe Silvertips don't come in 2 bands so no chance to make a mistake.
If I'm honest, I'm convinced I got sent a Silvertip brush.
The new brush is in the middle.
