    Default 28mm shavemac with proraso soap tub.

    Im planning on purchasing the 28mm super badger from shavemac. I always use the proraso hard soap which is in the green tub and im wondering will that brush be too big for the tub and if so what size would anyone recommend
    for using this type of soap.

    No problems with that size brush. should lather up a treat.
    I'm currently looking for a small brush probably a small Rooney
    or a Saville Row. I guess it's a bit horses for courses. Hard to go wrong
    with some sort of medium sized super badger brush.
    I havn't got a Shavemac brush but a lot of people swear buy them.
    My vulfix 849 lathers up soaps quite well but I do give it heaps.Whatever
    you choose good luck with it.

    I've used a Kent BK8 (26mm) in conjunction with the Proraso Green Tub and it works fine, I invert the tub, push the tips of the brush into the soap and twist the brush til there's enough soap on the brush. I work up the lather in a bowl. I reckon you could happily do this with the BK12 (32mm).

    [SIZE="1"]Ah... You can't beat the cold steel and the badger. All this electrical rubbish, little wheels spinning around all over the place for callow youths and peach fluff, Not for a man's beard. Razor blades for men! I think we'll have this on number 9. If you're going to have a shave have a close one!
