The shavemaces are solid brushes. I have no complains with with mine, but from what I hear the older shavemacs pre 2005 (July?) are denser and better.
I was wondering if there anyone has any pictures comparing the old vs new shavemacs
HERE is a review of one I did, which has quite a few pictures in it which should show you the difference. It is actually denser than a chubby!
If you want/need actual side by side pics - lemme know and i'll take a few.
So Joel, seeing as how I am in the market for my first Silvertip brush and was considering the exact brush you reviewed here, how would you say the "new" Shavemacs compare to the old? I am very curious what your thoughts are. Also, do you like the look of the faux horn or tortoise better?
Thanks for the info! It's a shame things changed, but what can you do I suppose? As I understand it, Savile Rows are nearly identical to the new Shavemacs in terms of density (which is still very good). Do you agree with that?
