Stirling 24mm. BEST badger for the money you can purchase.

 

Nice Thäter. Don't see the three-bands too often. BTW...Shaving is supposed to be a respite from work, Clint!

 

That looks awesome!!!! What kind of knot is it? Best, fine, silvertip?

 

Thank you, Clint! Busy week so far with rehearsal after school on Monday and then a concert last night. But we're past that now so today is a much lighter day. We have a performance in the local Christmas parade on December 15, so we're working towards that now. There's always something!

 

They use the term "finest", but I don't really know what that means. On sale right now for $29.00. Gimme a break! That's a steal.
AS GOOD as a brush 5x that expensive.

 

Terrific picture, Jim!

 

Beautiful picture, Clint!

 

Great picture, Perry!

 

Its hard to beat a Yaqi brush for the price. FYI Stirling and Maggard house brand brushes and all of the knots that Maggard sells are all made by Yaqi. I like more backbone so I choose the two band finest over the silvertip. The two band finest knots come in two different shapes, fan and bulb. The bulb knots dont splay as much and offer a little more backbone where the fan knots tend to bloom a bit more. If you like to splay your brush while lathering I would recommend the bulb knot as it will offer you a little more resistance. Hold off on making a purchase for a little bit though as I have something in the works that I think you might like. Here are a couple glamour shots of one of my Yaqi's it is a 24mm two band finest bulb.

Iced Pineapple, FTW!!!!

Excellent photo and shave, Patrick!

Gorgeous shot, Jim!

Very Nice, Clint! That knot looks super dense!

Awesome Shot, Perry! Green smells great!

Excellent shot Mark! Love that brush!

A great shave with some Stirling Gentleman and the Karve this morning. After seeing all the talk about the Stirling Badger brushes, it was just a coincidence I used mine this morning. They are great values and worth the money. This was a great start to my day. I hope everyone has a great day!

 

I like the looks of that brush.

 

You just had to bring out the Karve.

 

It's Decadent December! The Karve is no doubt one of my favorite razors, and the past few months have kept me from using it much.
