    Default new shavemac

    An AOS pure brush got me started in this whole new, wait I mean old, way of shaving and it has been mediocre ever since. I was totally unaware of this sub par performance until I stumbled upon this site and read what a great brush could do. Well I am pleased to announce a change in my new found shaving hobby (I can call this a hobby right) and I could not be happier. After much reading I decided on a shavemac silvertip with a 23mm knot and the feaux horn handle. Wow!! I never knew how much of a difference it could make. I just wish my beard would grow faster

    Out of the box

    Very nice and welcome! That's a very highly regarded brush. I've been looking at the Shavemacs, and the question is whether I want to splurge on a Silvertip.

    I am a fan of the faux horn that really looks sharp.

    The way I see it, if your good to your face now maybe it will be good to you down the road.

    I agree.

    Nice Brush! I have an AOS pure brush right now and I am patiently awaiting the new B&B brush. I have eyed a Shavemac, but I keep telling myself to wait a little bit longer. I have a feeling a new brush will make a big difference.

    HUGE difference. I am so happy I bought this brush. It is leaps and bounds better than the AOS pure in every way.

    Popular brush (I have one also, of course ), and for good reason. One of my favorites. Enjoy!
