DSCOSMETIC SHAVING BRUSH

UPDATE - FIRST LATHERS

Putting aside the sloppy workmanship (for now at least), I've had a chance to use each brush once.  Based on one go, I'm very pleased with the Galaxy 26mm 2B ST and begrudgingly satisfied with the so called "Extra Density" 22mm ST.

The Galaxy has all the properties I expected -  smooth tips and reasonably firm backbone.  I bowl lathered the first time out, but I have no doubt this will be a fine face latherer.  At the moment, I would tentatively rank it above my Yaqi 2B (which in not a ST) and clearly below my Shavemac 2B ST.  Definitely well worth the price to me, even with the blemished handle bottom.  There is plenty of lather left in the bowl in addition to what you see here:




The "Extra Density" is another matter.  First, and much to my annoyance, there is absolutely nothing extra dense about this brush.  It doesn't look extra dense, it doesn't have a lot of backbone, and it doesn't hog lather like a dense brush.  Nevertheless, workmanship aside and based solely on performance, it too is worth the money to me because I could see myself enjoying it.  The short handle makes it easy to choke up as needed on the knot, and that in turn makes it a suitable face latherer in my book.  In fact, I had to add lather after the first pass, and found it quick and easy to skip the bowl and get a good quality lather sufficient for two more passes and touchups.  

...

In short, I would definitely buy the Galaxy again, but I would think twice about the "Extra Density".

The DS Cosmetic Galaxy 2B ST ROCKS

Yes, the handle workmanship is disappointingly blemished, but ...  I've shaved three more times now with this brush and it works and feels great.  I'm getting great lather and skin friendly BBS shaves.  Zero shedding too.  Granted, the DSC is not like a Simpson or Shavemac - much less attention to detail, a touch less smooth, and maybe not as quick to lather - but to be fair, for $26 USD the DSC folks have earned the right to some props.

 --  Happy Shaves.

I also purchased a Galaxy -P2 from them and am very happy with it. I don't have any super high end brushes to compare it to, but I do have a nice WCS Beacon that was over 40 bucks and I like the DSC better.

Both the handle and knot are real nice. The knot was slightly scritchy at first, but after 4-5 shaves its become super soft. It spays real nice and has just enough back bone. Really for the price, I think its hard to beat.

I'm intrigued from mixed synth brushes.
Just discovered the Yaqi 2in1 (M1905C).

And now I see the DiShi YinYang / DScosmetic Yin Yang.
This is a mix of Tuxedo and Cashmere, and sounds very balanced.

The T4 line of synthetic brushes by DScosmetic is very nice.

There're very few info about both synth knots, T4 and G7.
