What's Your New Brush?

Don’t recognize that marking. Who makes it?

Alpha Brush & Shaving Co. You can find them on Facebook as well as at Executive Shaving. I also have another one where the ferule is removable and I stuck an Envy Shave Luxury Silvertip in there. I'd say those two and my RR 400 are my three favorite brushes.

First thoughts?
Both are substantially softer than my other synthetic, which is a Thater. It's a little too stiff for my liking. They will be floppier when wet than my Chubby 2, but they're also larger. I'm feeling good about them both though. At around $15 each, they're a great deal. And I love the retro look. The face lathering will tell the tale, but I'm happy with my purchase. For some reason, Tapatalk isn't letting me upload a pic.

I face lather with mine and always get great results.
 
I'm not sure what's up with Tapatalk, but here's a pic I uploaded with Chrome on my phone

I got two today. A Wee Scot - they aren't kidding about the Wee part. It'll make a great travel brush. I also got an Omega Pro 48 Boar. I'm going to hit the soap with it in just a couple of hours.

Size by side, the 48 REALLY makes the Wee Scot look itty-bitty.
