Hello ladies and gentlemen 
              I am going to get a shavemac knot or two and was wanting to get some comparisons to so.e of my favorites. I love my  apshaveco gelousy, SV, mozingo zt2 and turnnshave tips. I have been leaning toward bulbs lately but do love my fans also. How does the shavemac 2band silvertip and unique compare in similarity and differences. Any information would be greatly appreciated. 
Happy shaves

Some picture comparisons would be great too. I would like to see how they might look in a few of t.f he empty handles I have.

Silvertip 2-Band = softest 2-Band tips that Shavemac offers; moderately dense, easily splays, very soft tips; great knots if you don't like much scrub
Unique 2-Band = from my understanding, these are a denser version of the above knot(s)
If you are looking for a denser knot with lovely soft tips, I would recommend the Unique knot; if you don't like much scrub and want a pillowy soft knot, then the former is best. 
Good luck. 

Here are mine, both very large bulbs (35mm + / 60mm +)
Black is the Silvertip 2-Band
Americana XL Unique 2-Band

I was mistaken I have four that are knot less right now. I do have two knots just not decided which ones go together. This is what I am thinking but not sure.[Image: BzCwgVZ.jpg]

Hello Celestino

Those are some beautiful brushes and big. I am sure they are very luxurious on the face. Thank you for the great information. I think I am leaning toward the unique. I might get one bulb and one fan.

Those knots in fan are going to be huge. Beautiful handles

I'm biased toward bulb knots.  

That said, in a Shavemac knot, I would still and definitely choose the bulb over a fan.

If you're ok getting two knots, then I suggest a regular 2band silvertip and a unique.  I have both.

Just my thoughts
