Shavemac synthetic brush

[struttura.originaria]

Finally paid my new order.
26x48 (exchange) and 28x50*

*Anchor shape with a Gold Coast colour.

Now just added a 24x45 Jade Beehive too

Does anyone know the difference, without stating the obvious, between Epsilon's 'extra soft' and normal synthetic silvertip?

 

[Nishy]

About backbone: some Chubby LEs.
About 'presence' and backbone: some Epsilon (not the cheapers).

When I say 'some', I mean that not all the releases are the same.
I had several Chubbys and Epsilons and many of them were all different.

That would annoy me, given that the hair isn't even natural.

I haven't tried the "extra soft" (cheaper one) but to me, it looks quite like the regular Plisson style knot. It's price arguments probable pretied knots from China, just like Plissoft.

I agreee with you, Avnish. I'm not looking to a D01 2Band in a synthetic territory.
My Epsilon is very close to a nice Shavemac Unique set low.

The prices are actually the same between extra soft and normal (both at approx £50)
I ended up ordering both.

Is that the normal synthetic approx £50, your description sounds perfect

Oh, I thought you were referring to the 25€ ones. Don't have experience with those and I'm looking forward to your impressions.

Apologies I should have been clearer. I look forward to testing these out too and providing my opinions.

Out of interest which ones did you go for pics would be great Nish

 

[struttura.originaria]

In my experience Epsilon (and many others) were all different between them. Good luck @Nishy

The one I chose (green handle) has vanished but these two are similar to what I paid for:

I have asked Bernd the questions again @Mr Bigmem so hopefully have an answer this week.

Hmmm interesting.......

I felt the loft on Epsilon was set too low and I found it difficult to splay - and this comes from someone who has no issues doing circular motions with the Chubby 2 synthetic.
I'm really curious about the extra soft fiber (blue/green), the splay on the picture looks quite nice.
