This brush is exactly what i was hoping for, smooth as silk, robust enough to face lather briliantly, hasn't shed at all from months of daily use, and still looks and feels brand new. The service, comms and so on were friendly and timely, I really couldn't be happier - i just don't have an excuse yet to buy another :-)
AP Shave Co is great. Amazing variety of brushes offered. For me, I have tried about every brush out there and have come to really like the G5c synthetic fan. It’s the perfect combination of softness and backbone. Creates and releases the lather. Also, like this brush better than all the badger brushes.
I started with a cashmere fan, knot. It it was extremely soft, but I did not like how flimsy it was. It was really hard to load the soap because it had absolutely no backbone at all. It would be great with a cream. So I purchased the bulb, and has become my second favorite knot! My favorite is your golden nib, three banded knot. If you love extremely soft bristles, as I do, you will absolutely love the cashmere bulb! It has enough backbone to load well from a tub. I absolutely love it! I also appreciate how fast you can get them to us in the United States.
Best brush I have in my den. Softest on my face, lathers extremely fast and the splay is next level. Incredible brush, looking forward to getting more from APShaveCo and have recommended Andrew's products to buddies at work. Great to work with and a pleasure doing business.
This handle feels great! This handle is exceptionally comfortable to hold, even though I don't have large hands (measuring only 8" from middle finger tip to wrist). I like it so much that I bought two. This black one is paired with a 26mm Cashmere knot and makes a very handsome package. The other is paired with a SynBad knot. Why two? Because a little variety makes life more interesting :).
This brush is a dream. It is smooth, exceptionally soft on the face while providing excellent backbone for face lathering. Pairing it with the Black Wood Brush Handle produces a visually elegant package to enjoy when I start my daily shave.
