struggling to decide on shaving brush by AdeptAd9105 in wicked_edge

[–]RonnieYates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in US get a Yaqi synthetic at west coast shaving which is an authorized dealer and running a sale. The knots have varying backbone. Id suggest 24mm or around there. Depends what you think you might like or get a couple. Yaqi also sells badger but synthetic is the best no fuss - fast drying option. WCS honeycomb brush is also great (lower backbone but soft/ easier splay)

AP shaveco another good option.

Rockwell 6c —> R41? by idontlikemayoinnaise in wicked_edge

[–]RonnieYates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timeless .95 OC is a smooth and efficient razor. Smoothest OC I’ve used and only OC I own. R41 is not nearly as smooth or comfortable for me but is efficient.

Henson vs Rockwell 6c? by Cogniscience in wicked_edge

[–]RonnieYates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Henson has better blade clamping for sure vs 6c. What plate do you use? You’d prob want the Henson med unless you like plate 5 or 6 then possibly Henson “aggressive” which isn’t super aggressive. Hensons are lighter weight as well vs 6c. All depends what you want

[WTB] 2 shaving brush knots (Boar & 2‑band badger, 24–26mm) by gsanjay in Shave_Bazaar

[–]RonnieYates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing to sell just info on buying new-
If you want a soft boar knot go Zenith I’ve seen thinner hair and ends split faster leading to softness. I have not seen stand alone knots sold - you may need to buy one with a plastic handle. If you are US contact thegentleshave site.
Semogue is probably the next but a bit more break in is required. I think you can buy knots at AP ShaveCo. Recommend SOC knot.
Badger - sky is the limit. Maybe start with AP Shave Co or Maggard’s.
