Muhle Silvertip Fibre Ivory Brush L 23mm V2

This is my first brush, so I have nothing to compare it to. But I can certainly say I am very pleased!! The handle is light, smooth and easy to hold. I am not sure if I would enjoy a brush handle entirely made out of metal, but the chrome inlay at the top of this one is certainly a nice touch. And the knot? Lovely! The tips are as soft as a kitten's fur and and —as silly as that may sound — I sometime cannot resist the temptation to reach out and give them a pet before leaving the bathroom. The backbone is pretty good; could be stronger, but it holds shape well enough, with no splaying. As expected of a synthetic brush, it soaks up in no time, lathers well, and then dries up just as quickly after use. It doesn't have any smell, and no hairs will fall out any time soon. I doubt I will ever feel the need to try an animal hair brush in my life. The only complaint I have is that I might enjoy a knot that is just a little bit bigger ... but that is a thought I best not entertain, for this was quite enough spending for my tiny student budget already!

Yes, V2 from MÜHLE, is a little better than V1. The hairs are a little stiffer and the hairs hold better on the water, In my opinion. It is definitely recommended.

This brush combines the benefits of the boar and badger. It has a very nice finish and works wonderfully with soaps. I didn't try it with creams yet. I like the 23 mm large knot, sometime I'll also try the XL version.
