me too though I'd prefer a 24 mm. I like the satin tip and I think its 23 so maybe 22 won't be too bad. the 26mm seems to big. if its its the same price It'll be worth trying at least Smile

Just got mine the other day and it is massive!. Creates great lather and the knot has just enough backbone. Got a great shave with it today and I paired it with Stirling Barbershop Shave Soap. This brush is by far the best bargain in all of shaving.

It is a one piece resin handle. I'll probably not ever do handles in plastic ever again. The resin adds more heft, and just plain feels better than the plastic.

I ordered one too. Based on Busta's encomium.

How is it? Mine won't arrive until Thursday and I am getting anxious!

Kong is the perfect name for this brush. Beautiful heavy handle and an awesome Plisson knot. I don't know how Stirling does it for so cheap. I may order another just to have it. I can't say enough about this brush. Kudos Stirling!!!

Great product, am enjoying mine immensely.

natal000 · 08-08-2015, 05:44 AM

Just shaved using this brush again today and paired it with P.A.A. Clubguy and it was magnificent! This brush brought out the best from this soap. The lather that this beast generates is incredible.

rawfox1 · 08-08-2015, 09:57 AM

Wonderful brush, much better than a plisson. Has some backbone but still enjoy my 26mm ubersoft better.

vtmax · 08-08-2015, 11:43 AM

Yes, The price point on the Stirling is pretty phenomenal considering it's a resin handle with great substance and weight. Big yes, but picks up the I Coloniali I'm working through now beautifully. To me a bigger (and more enjoyable) brush than the Plisson which is a great brush in its own right.

ezlovan, are you making one with a loft around 50-53mm?

Yes. The 22 mm will have a loft in that range.
