I love this brush. The knot is the famous Mühle 26mm STF set in an ergonomic handle that is incredible to hold. Whatever you do, don’t hesitate to buy this brush. It’s worth the price.
I have tried the G5 series, SynBad, Titanium, Cashmere, and others. So far, for me, the MiG feels the closest to a high-end badger knot in backbone, splay and softness.
I was looking for a synthetic knot that would whip up the quickest lather yet still be soft enough for the face, not fling soap everywhere yet somehow be low maintenance and affordable too.
This is it!
Look no further, it not only does all that, it also rinses out and drys super-fast too! This is my favorite knot, hands down! Killer knot!
This brush has been fantastic. Might be the best synth I have, even beats some pricey Simpsons. Great for face lather, enough backbone to work up a hard soap like MWF or MdC
The bang for your buck is great and I paired this with the cashmere knot. Made the shave great. I really can't tell what makes this a factory second, so I'm very pleased. Good looking, simple, and very sturdy feeling.
This knot is ridiculously impressive. Purchased this after trying to put up with a bambaw brush I thought I could get away with using from Amazon. Felt like daggers. This cashmere knot feels like a cloud on my sensitive skin.
Bought a 26mm G5C and it's like lathering with a cloud, it's so soft it's unbelievable, plus it holds water super well which is a plus for me since I usually take a bit longer in some areas of my beard due to sensitivity, so no need to "refuel" it. Definitely recommend buying. Extra points for the note in the package from Andrew, telling me to enjoy the brush, it was so thoughtful that I decided to keep it.
I have sensitive skin, shave daily using a brush and shaving soap and have been a Gillette multi-blade razor user for many years. I decided on a whim to give Penny Shaver a try. Frankly I wasn’t optimistic as I have also tried Schick, Harry’s, Costco, etc. but razor irritation has always plagued me. I’ve been using the Penny Shaver for a few weeks now and I must say I’m very pleased. My skin irritation has subsided and I’m getting a surprisingly close shave. My face thanks you Penny Shaver!!!
