Since I already have the Aluminum B2 I am holding out for a all metal chrome handle version of the B1.

That would be the B18. Same 26 x 64mm knot.

Thank you. I missed that one.

Decided to do some of my own shopping for Father's Day.  Just placed an order for the B18.   Happy2

The B18 arrived today.  I must say that Michael went above and beyond.  I received a message shortly after ordering indicating that the brush would be at the post office that evening.  It is very nice to do business with someone that puts in the extra effort for the customer.  

I have not used the B18 yet but I can say it has little to no funky odor.  The taller loft will be a different experience than the B02 Aluminum.  I will also add that I like the added heft of the handle.  For those that are interested in adding a boar to their brush rotation, a Zenith is worthy of consideration.

Got two brushes from Michael 28mm by 50mm and 60mm and am enjoying them thoroughly!

Michael is an exceptional Gentleman and a great businessman.

Let us know which one you like better. I imagine that the 60mm will be more accessible at first, but the 50mm would improve as it gets broken in.

I got the 50mm first and a had a few shaves before I received the 60mm, so the bristles on the 50mm were already very delicate. I used both brushes most of the time since I received them and it is impossible for me to decide which one I like better. I must say though that they provide a strong competition to my badger brushes!!!

I like these Zenith brushes so much that I already gave away my four other boar brushes.

Thank you Michael!

That's great to hear. I was worried that the 50mm was too short. So many people talk about how the brushes feel already broken in, but the truth is that the tips keep getting softer after 6 months to a year of use. None of my newer brushes compare to my old Zenith that was my daily driver.

the 50mm does look a bit short, but does it deliver!!!! At this point in time it works superbly with my triple milled soaps - Tabac, SV, as well as Mike's, MDC, ABC, and C&S #88. And it almost stopped shedding!
