I couldn't have (not even close!) said it any better, Scritchnscrub ! I received the BC Silvertip Friday. I have been using only synthetic brushes since April, and this is the fourth keeper. I love the Maggard's 22mm and 24mm synthetics, which were my only brushes going into Summer. After venturing into face lathering, I started reading about BIG synthetics and how enjoyable a big brush is for face lathering. I decided to get the RazoRock Big Bruce. Great brush. This Fall, as winter starts creeping in, I opted to use my scuttle as a brush warmer, and read some posts about the BC Silvertip being such a luxurious feeling brush. Some birthday money arriving helped clinch the deal and I love the soft feel as well as the "stiffer" backbone. The splay is different than the other synthetics. The others can be "pokey" at times, which I assume is just par for the course, being a synthetic. The BC Silvertip is softer in a different way than the Big Bruce or the Maggard brushes, reminding me more of a real badger brush. Only two shaves with this new brush, I see it being reached for frequently, but not exclusively. I enjoy the Big Bruce, and there is something about the Maggard's purple synthetic that just makes me happy!
Great review and happy shaves to you!
