Before you plunk down any money I shall offer a bit of advice based upon my experience with the both the MÜHLE "silvertip" & "black fibre" brushes as I have both. Quite simply, for a lot less money buy a Plissoft as they work just as well for less dinero IMO. The "silvertip" may be just a frog hair better with creams, but I almost always use soaps anyway. Just my 2 cents from having owned the two MÜHLE brushes since 2014.

YMMV strikes again!

For me, there is absolutely no comparison between the Plisson and MÜHLE Silvertip fibres. I use a Plissoft fibre brush as my travel brush, but my home Silvertip Fibre is a much more pleasurable experience.

Is it possible that there have been Plissoft upgrades during ongoing production?

As long as brush manufacturers aren't more open about where and when their fibres were sourced, that is always a possibility.

I have a few MÅ«hle Silvertips v2 and Simpson Chubby 2, and facelather all the time.

I find the synth brushes to be very good performers no matter what soap or cream I use.

The two best brushes in my collection is the Simpson Cubby 2 and the MÅ«hle 70 Anniversary Brush..

Both are spectacular performers - the Chubby being just a tad better.

I just ordered a Muhle Silvertip Fibre V2 knot from Shavingie. I'll replace the dreadful synthetic knot in my prototype Simpson Classic1 Synthetic with it; I really like the faux Ivory handle on this brush so I want to keep it. It cost me a total of â‚¬22 including shipping, which is a bit on the rich side, but I do like the Muhle synthetic fibre and I believe the V2 fibre is even better than the V1 fibre brush I have now. I will replace the knot myself, which is a first for me.

Digging up an old thread but thought I'd ask your opinion/comparison between the v1 and v2 STF brushes after extensive use.

After many uses of both brushes I prefer the performance of the v1 over that of the v2. The v2 has are more prominent glue bump than the v1, which gives it a bit more backbone thus making it somewhat harder to splay. I lan to sell the v2 brush since I need only one synthetic because I use it just for travel. Neither knot performs as well as any of my 30 badgers or 3 boars, but they do dry much more quickly making them ideal for trave.

Thanks for the comparison.
I'm a huge fan of the v1 also.
Is your v2 the 25mm version?

It's the same size as the v1, which is 23mm.
