Duke 3 Best or Saville Row 3824?

saville row is made by shavemac?

Yep. On behalf of Charles at QED.

Either one will serve you well. I recommend the Duke 3. A classic that is found in many a wet shaver's den.

I don't have personal experience with the SR brushes. But the Duke 3 is a wonderful brush, and viewed as a workhorse type for a reason.

I'm probably one of the few people across the board that would not recommend the Duke. Bought one, shed right out of the box and all 7-10 shaves after that. Gave it to my less picky brother. Waited 2 years, got another thinking it was an isolated incident and it did the same thing...I have never had a brush shed like that before or after the Duke. I sold it (pretty well gave it away) as a Sheder on one of the boards.

All that to say, Saville Row IMHO would be your best bet.

I am a huge fan of the newest 2 band Shavemac brushes.   However for a 3 band,  I don't think a Duke 3 in best can be beat.   I have a 58 in best slightly shorter loft than the D3 and it's a favorite of mine.

Love mah 58 too. Simpsons has made some in Manchurian, FYI.
Also, if the Savile Row hair is the same as Shavemac's three-band silvertip it is no contest. Shavemac's silvertip is too floppy for my liking.

PS I LOVE Shavemac 2-band silvertip, D0-1 2-band, D0-1 three band, and even their finest. But I was disappointed in the regular silvertip.
