It's impossible to tell from the picture but because you have other brushes in finest you would be the one to know if something was different, you can get two band silvertips so maybe that's what you've got! P.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.
Loft? And is it 30 mm wide leaving handle?
I've not bought one since they were LS brushes. Quite fancied that long handled one for a while in your photos. I had a Frank Shaving synth with a similar handle years ago which felt nice in the hand but the STF style know was too springy for me.
