Stirling synthetic...newest budget brush?

When will the 22 mm be available?

When will the 22 mm be available?

No exact date yet. Some time in September is the only guarantee I could get. A lot more vendors are ordering the knots, so they are pretty backed up.

The knot is nice and as I expect it to be but the handle in big and uncomfortable IMO

I swiped this from another thread. I hope I have not broken any rules. Perhaps I am too enthusiastic about this brush.

I am relatively new to this wet shaving. I started about three years ago. But more and more I am happy with my own conclusions.
I have had three marvelous shaves with my new Stirling brush. There is nothing like it.

In the past three years I have been constantly searching for a better brush. I started with an Omega Hog Hair from my super market. That almost made me quit wet shaving. I moved up through the various grades of badger to a Silver Tip.
However I found Frank Shave's Finest Badger was the very best from that unhappy animal.
My Horse Hair still has the stable smell after several dozen gallops and it feels --- goopy.
I then acquired a Body Shop Synthetic. I liked it but it was much too small. Perhaps OK for a woman's legs. Two more synthetics. Each larger and better than the previous.

My search has ended. I need not buy another brush. The Stirling is sheer perfection like a gentle warm breeze caressing my cheeks.
I can hardly sleep at night as I wait for something to sprout on my face for the morning.
The handle, the knot, the shape - all have been blended into an instrument of perfect harmony.

The old timers? They make a nice display and will be used occasionally just to remind me how lucky I am.

^^^

I don't know what "^^^" means, but the quote was regarding the new 22mm brush. I guess it's safe to assume that both stocks might be correlated, but it never hurts to ask.

It really is a nice brush, just too large for my taste. I prefer shorter lofts 50-53mm.
My wife has been eyeballing it, it would work great for lathering larger real estate than my face.
