***Knot Descriptions****
>(High Mountain White Badger) High Mountain White Badger comes only from badgers found in the high mountains of China. With its characteristic long white tips and thick middle band, HMW is prized for its excellent water retention, backbone, and extremely soft tips. There is no better natural hair knot! While the standard HMW knot is luxurious and dense, the High Density HMW is extremely dense, with about 25% more hair. Available only in 24mm.
>(Silvertip Badger) The silvertip badger is one of the most expensive and rare type of badger hair since it comes strictly from the neck and muzzle of the badger. The silvertip badger offers superior water retention and superb lathering capability. The softness of the bristles make for a very comfortable experience. Our silvertip knots are unbleached with natural colored tips, that vary from grey to off-white. Those wanting the added luxury and “cushiony” feel should opt for the silvertip brush. While the standard Silvertip knot is luxurious and dense, the High Density Silvertip knot is extremely dense, with about 25% more hair.
>(Two Band Badger) If you are looking for good all around performer, then you should consider a two band brush. These knots are densely packed, with an improved quality and texture that is immediately noticeable. Most users notice a more balanced experience with this grade of brush, combining the scrubbiness of a pure badger brush with the softness and improved lathering of a silvertip brush.
>(Pure Badger) The pure badger brush is genuine high-grade badger hair for a comfortable lather every time. These knots are densely packed. The characteristically blunt edges of the pure badger hairs work doubly in your favor: They build an effective lather and exfoliate skin after raising the whiskers into a shavable stance.
>(Boar) These 100% Boar Hair knots offer the ultimate in “scritchiness” along with an unparalleled backbone. There is no better scrub than these knots!
>(Synthetic) The synthetic knots are a great choice for those who don’t like using natural animal hair, but still, want a great shave. They are very soft feel to the skin without the “scrubbiness” of badger knots. Unlike animal hair brushes, synthetics don’t require presoaking, dry very quickly, and there is no wild odor. The Timberwolf, Black & White, and Faux Badger knots all have a good density and moderate backbone when set at 15mm depth. The Brown and Beige knots are a bit more on the “floppy” side with the same soft feel. Extra backbone can be achieved by setting the knot deeper at the expense of loft, upon request.
> (Handle without knot) This handle is available a la carte for those wishing to use their own knot. If you chose this option, you will receive just a brush handle with no knot. All knot bored are bored ~1.5mm over the nominal size, for example a 24mm socket is ~25.5mm x 15mm deep. These bore dimensions work well with true to size knots, although some adjustment may be necessary. We do not warrant that this is compatible with any other suppliers knots, especially substandard knots that run small.

beautiful, very well made, I took the large size but I think the smaller one is better for whipping soap… I want to use it more and be more precise for a further review

This is my second bowl from this merchant. I bought the large size bowl as I tend to use larger shaving brushes like the Simpson Chubby 2 and Chubby3. The shaving bowl works really well in generating lots of lather because of the ridges that are there in the bottom on the bowl. My usual routine is to fill the bowl with hot water and soak the shaving brush I plan to use that morning. After about a couple of minutes, I empty the bowl and load the shaving brush with soap or cream. Once loaded, I whisk the brush in this bowl to get oodles of lather. Being made of resin it keeps the warmth from the hot water and is very light as well. The colors are so unusual, it looks great just standing on your bathroom countertop. I’m very satisfied with this purchase and would recommend this product to anyone looking for a shaving bowl.

This shaving brush is of the highest quality and as beautiful a handle as you will ever find. The brush has plenty of bounce, splays very well and holds tons of soap. You will never find a better brush at any price, well worth it.

Great brush handle. I went with the #12 Damascus pattern to go with my Medium Damascus bowl, and put a G5C fan knot in it. My other bowls and brushes haven’t been seeing much action lately.

Beautiful brush with excellent craftsmanship!! Feels robust and of great quality. I have many shaving brushes and can tell you the knot that was installed isn’t a cheap one. Very high quality knot! It’s very dense and soft with a lot of backbone. I opted for shd Silvertip. Overall excellent experience with this vendor!! Thank you for your patience in adjusting my order Rich! I really appreciate it and your great craftsmanship!!

Really lovely brush. Handle is nice and sturdy. I opted for the two band and my boyfriend loves it. Upgraded him from a all boar lower quality brush where the bristles were falling out. He says this one is nice and luxurious. Also got here faster than expected and I was able to gift it on time!
