Vie Long 24 mm Fan White Horse (13095) I can tell you right now, based off of my personal tastes, there are some underdogs who have a real shot at this. I can also tell you that there are a few that while I do like using them, they are sort of just filler considering the competition. You might be able to guess which ones they are. Or not. So there really isn't a bad pick in here.
How about this? I will shave with a merkur futur while driving on a gravel road in a pickup. And I am in for the bolt thing.

Let me re run the scoring. 9 categories with a possible 10 point each, 90 total. Every brush starts with a 5 in each category as a baseline. And moves up or down from there. I do not expect mega high scores, since we have so many kinds of brushes competing together, and once you award a ten, there is nowhere else to go. So consider that the brush I used today, and like a LOT only scored a 77/90.
When R we doing this? They're washboarded and frozen solid for another month, then pure mud for two weeks before we will see any blading.
