Once I'd used my 30mm 2-band Maseto a couple of times I didn't find it very dense at all - it was the glue bump that gave it its back-bone not the density. I think it'll open-up and be a great face lathering brush. However, I've not used a Maseto 24mm knot so maybe it's all down to personal preference...

Mail Call:- Today I received two brushes from classicshop2012 via eBay online click here, on the left is the Maseto Extra Density 2 Band Finest Badger 24/54mm knot and on the right is the Maseto 2 Band Finest Badger Horn 30/54mm knot see 2 image below. I give these brushes below a real good clean before I used the brush.

For some reason the 24/54mm bloom of the Extra Density 2 Band Finest Badger looks better than the 30mm on the right, I can see the 2 Band Finest Badger Horn 30/54mm knot doesn't have enough bloom and splay to allow enough flow through when face lathering. Anybody owned a Maseto Extra Density 2 Band Finest and a Maseto 2 Band Finest 30mm knot, which brush do you like best that suit you because I'm interested in you're feedback... Cheers.



On the left is the Maseto Extra Density 2 Band Finest Badger 24/54mm knot vs on the right is the Maseto 2 Band Finest Badger 30/54mm knot blooming side by side.

I have both and prefer the normal density, although I find it to lack density for a large 30mm knot. I won't bitch about it down to the price. I find the extra dense knot to hold lather beyond what I find to be reasonable (both examples above represent both bulbs and fan knots). The perfect balance between a large knot, backbone:density:flow through goes to SV brushes IMO.

Thanks Sonny. I did try a sample of the classic scent earlier this year and rated it.
I wasn't planning on buying any as it's pretty expensive but I managed to get it for a good price via BST.
I've only had a quick sniff but I like the scent, which is a relief. :p:

Great scent it has many layers and it's not sweet! Thank God. Performance is superb too. Enjoy it Rob!

eShave Mach 3 travel razor which I requested for Xmas. It can be taken apart and stowed in its accompanying travel tube. I've used it a couple of times whilst visiting family over the holidays and I like its weight and balance.

Had to look this up and think I’ll throw a sample of this in with a few others from ALzD!

Late bird does NOT get the worm. Going for some samples now, seems they’re either dropping Munegu or it’s sold out.. Ah, well, always others to sample! Have gather d up the following samples in the cart over time: Invasion Barbare, L’Aigle de la Victoire (Rance 1795), Amouage Beach Hut Man, and Oud Alif (Shay & Blue). A little all over the place, maybe. When you sample, do you try to go for a common note/direction or just random composition? Not sure what is smarter. @flashashton27
