This is my 1st SHD Silvertip brush....so very dense and kinda...ermmm how to say it....floppy? Perhaps too much water trapped inside...will give it another go tomorrow...Most of my Badger brushes seem to do that. The lather goes in the brush rather than on it. Still perfectly usable lather and gets on the face with ease. That was also the biggest difference I notices with my only synth brush, the lather sits on its rather than in the brush.
razor - Yaqi Katana - single edge - on a ES s/s handle
@Satanfriendly - C. - if you haven't tried a Katana - I seriously recommend it to you in your quest for Zen razors - the sound of one edge shaving - Om mani padme hum.
I will will be lead by your recommendation and have a good think.
This Zen is turning more in to an impossibility (an anti-Zen). Which in theory equates not to a search but more an assault on my bank account.
Guys, just FYI, Aliexpress vendors conduct online LIVE sales on selected days. You can check it out with either their apps or the site. Yaqi often has their LIVE sale on Friday from 1600pm to 1800pm their local time. Brushes and razors go from between 20% to 50% to 99%. I missed today's session due to work. Last week missed the limited number SE complete razor for 99%.$9 delivered from Aliexpress for the head only
Good shout - there's also flash deals that last between 24 hours and 5 days that are worth looking out for. These are for specific items - not to be confused with Ali Express' DFS frequency salesGuys, just FYI, Aliexpress vendors conduct online LIVE sales on selected days.

So far, I snagged 2 synthetic brushes for only USD10 and 1 slant head for USD4 all delivered.
If you like better quality brush, Oumo held their LIVE on Wednesday. I dare not enter...lest I am tempted.
