What level of backbone are you looking for Wintoid? Any similarities with another brush?
I have a D01 two band bulb. If the idea of lathering up with something that more or less feels like a fuzzy pencil eraser appeals to you, go for it! Alright, slight exaggeration...but there is nothing else quite like D01 two band hair.
I've heard they take about 30-45 uses to break in. I'm right around the 30ish mark. I save it for soaps, usually, and I don't use cakes that often.You need to use it more not just admire it.
Mine has now minimal scritch, even with circular motions to agitate the lather. It definitely took longer than first perceived. Around 35 uses to be precise.I've heard they take about 30-45 uses to break in. I'm right around the 30ish mark. I save it for soaps, usually, and I don't use cakes that often.
Try wrapping a band round the base - you can start with just a rubber band to see if it helps and, if so, then go on to something that looks a bit better. You can get 'o' rings in just about any diameter and colour.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 more than 3-band somehow. However, it's a bit soft for me, and I think I would have liked more backbone.
I was thinking about ordering another 26mm/48mm brush in D01 2-band, but everything I'm reading implies that would be ridiculously firm. Do you think I would be mad?
I know this is a how-long-is-a-piece-of-string question, but zeroing in on the right brush is hard without advice and discussion
Mine was never really scritchy, but it was stiff as all get out. I've been using it exclusively for the past several days at Avenish's suggestion, and it's become much more flexible.Mine has now minimal scritch, even with circular motions to agitate the lather.
