The nice thing about Thäter brushes, is that they are incredibly soft, without sacrificing backbone and, most importantly (for me, anyway), they have great flow-through. Some of my Simpsons are complete lather hogs. The Thäters release the lather easily. Their Boar brushes are terrible. I spent $90 bucks on a Thäter "Premium Boar", it was a TSN LE a few years ago, and it was the scratchiest brush I have ever owned. I had to tear out the knot and replace it with a Declaration Grooming B5, which I ended up selling.
I love my Simpson chubby 2 and will never get rid of it but its a complete lather hog. Thater is the only brand i still want to buy and ill be happy with my collection. Thats crazy you say that about the thater boar because i wanted that brush so bad but passed on it and it sounds like i made the right choice.
Lol not many clints around. Im fine without it. I have plenty of semogue and omega boars. It has a great handle though. I was a boar guy for a long time but im really loving badger right now.
Yea thats the one i wanted. It is gorgeous. I almost bought the badger beehive from thater. I really just want a thater and highend shavemac and ill be content. Maybe...... lol
Yea i agree. I need a beehive brush. I have a razorock beehive with synthetic knot but i only use it for head shaving
Thanks Gary. My second one, but still haven't restored the first one yet. I like the second one, Beau Brummel Up-Rite
