Like many people here, I'm often buying and occasionally selling shaving equipment. In my case it's razors, or was until recently.
At the end of 2015, I had one brush. The Whipped Dog 30mm synthetic. I was pretty happy with it, and had no intention of going down the brush rabbit-hole.
So...
After much research, I bought my first badger, which is a Shavemac regular silvertip (not D01) 2-band brush in 26mm with a 48mm loft in a fan shape.
I really like the brush. I got a lot right. I like the appearance of a short loft, and I like the size. I like the way 2-band hair looks much...
