Shavemac Silvertip D01 2-band brush - I'm having a bit of a hard time adjusting to this brush. Its a lot stiffer than I expected. I guess if I'd paid more attention to Shavemac's Badger Qualities page I'd have seen that this particular knot is ranked 10/10 for density and stiffness and 7/10 softness. It generates prodigious quantities of lather very quickly, however, due to its density and stiffness the lather piles up on the outside of the bristles so you have to be careful lathering your face otherwise much of the lather will just fall off in to the sink. I do like the brush and will persevere.

Had a hard time with my D0-1 2-band as well. In the end, it found a new home.
