Thanks Rich, 2025 is going to be a great year! This handle is EPIC and the UltraLux knot is easily one of the best if not the best badger knot ever on the market! Have a good one brother!
Great list and descriptions of each knot. I hear great things about most of these. I agree with the HMW as it's an awesome knot and my go to when ordering from Sawdust Creation Studios. Have a great week
Great list. Wife got me a Simpsons Berkeley 46 best badger around November. It’s definitely a great brush. I’m thinking about now getting some other Simpsons. Have a good one Tobin!
Great Top 5, Tobin! I was blessed with luck to win that HMW brush of Sawdust Creations from you. I love it. It is perfect😊 Franks Shaving is another great place to get brushes. I have a few Synthetics, but I should pull the trigger and get the Manchurian one. It looks nice🙂👌
@@samhillanbrand6291 thanks Sam! I want to get more Sawdust Creation Studios brushes! Looking forward to this collaboration with him and Strike Gold Shave . Have a good day sir!
Oh man, nice list! I had to go back through to see if I had missed it, but I thought there was a black hair badger in your list. I just probably remember one of your videos that had it in there-lol! Getting old! I'm not that familiar with badgers, but I know you are. Ever since you got that one in from Ming, that's definitely one I've been thinking about. I haven't got to all my brush projects, but I'd have do something special if I pick one up. I would like to have a beehive badger and that's a nice price. It's always a problem when the gears start turning in my head-lol! Hope you're having a great one bro, take care!
Thanks Ian! I do love a good black badger, I've had a couple that are just too scritchy but I also have like 3 that are a good Goldilocks scritch. I seriously recommend the Manchurian from Frank or the HMW from Bobby, especially if you want a Natural Unbleached Badger. I'm over the Gel Tip fad, I won't say I won't buy anymore of them however they are not something I'm going to seek out. On a side note/thought, If anyone can could get at bleaching Badger it would be you. Do you own any Gel Tips? If so, how do you like them?
@@Tobins_throwbacks I don't own any gel tips. I only have two badgers and one of them is from Stirling and the other is a really old one that has zero backbone. I don't think I could even make a lather with it-haha! Yeah, I do get caught up in processes! I'm surprised there isn't people dying them, to give them more backbone.
Excellent list Tobin. I would add Teton Shaves Badger to the list myself (not the Synth, but the natural). I love the HMW! This is my favorite. The only drawback is I find it to be a lather monster. Simpson's Best Badger is nearly a tie as I like the little extra scritch it gives. I have it in the Captian Cobalt Candy handle, so pretty! For the price, Frank's are hard to beat too. Have a good one!
@ Hi Tobin. My best badger is a Muhle Gold Badger. It is not a “high” quality badger but I do love it. I find that one person’s love is another’s hate.
More good info about Badgers, and no I never ever bought anything from evil Amazon. Don’t say Amazon. Tobin you don’t own any Omega’s? Tobin please when you show Brushes in hand please show so we can see entire Handle. Still inserts are great.👍
He owns a few, when he reviewed the ST2 he held up the Silver Tip from Omega, I know he has some boar and a Mighty Midget, probably has a bunch of them. 👍
Love me a good badger knot!
Who you? Nah! 😅 Have a good one Matthew!
I’m honored to make your top 5 Tobin! Thank you so much for the mention! I hope you have the best 2025!!!

Thanks Mike! HMW from Bobby is all anyone needs 😊 Have a good one brother!
Love the top 5 lists! Thanks again!
Thanks John!
Excellent top 5, I own a high mountain from Sawdust Creation Studios thanks to your 2023 top 5 and I must agree it is my favorite.
Bobby is damn good people and makes beautiful handles and with that knot It's hard to resist buying another one lol
Great list. Wife got me a Simpsons Berkeley 46 best badger around November. It’s definitely a great brush. I’m thinking about now getting some other Simpsons. Have a good one Tobin!
Thanks Manny, can't go wrong with the Manchurian or Super from Simpson. Have a good one!

Thank you Tobin. Love the Sawdust Creations brushes. Will have to give the Somogue a try. Scott from brownbag gentleman.
Hey Scott, if you like Bobby's badger knots you'll likely love the Semogue. Have a good one brother!
The audio is perfect Tobin
Awesome! Thanks!

Thanks Jeff! The best badger from Simpson has like the perfect amount of scritch.
Have a good one brother!
I absoutly love Frank's Manchurian Silver Tip and Rich's UltraLux. Great choices Tobin!
Thank you sir! Happy Liberation Day!
@ It’s fantastic so far! Life is GOOD!
Nice vid. I like the 21, 22 knots. Don’t like the bigger knots that splay open and cover the whole side of my head!
Thank you! For me anything larger than a 26mm is too much. 24 is my sweet spot.
Have a good one brother!
I have the same Frankshaving brush and it’s an incredible brush and value.
I want a couple more knots like it 🙏 have a good one brother!
Good Stuff Maynard!
😊
Great review and description of the brushes. I need to go and check these 5 out. Have a great week. The mic sounded good to me.
Thanks Andy, what's your favorite badger knot?
@ Hi Tobin. My best badger is a Muhle Gold Badger. It is not a “high” quality badger but I do love it. I find that one person’s love is another’s hate.
Well, you already know that I just bought my first badger brush from Bobby Moffett, which was based upon your recommendation.
Awesome choice it was, Bobby Moffett makes some great brushes! Looking forward to hearing how you like it 😢
Thx 👍
You're welcome! Thank you!
Thanks Brother!
Thanks, man! Appreciate it!
Boom! I've been waiting for this one!
I hope it didn't disappoint!

Thank you, great top 5. I don't own any badger brushes only Synthetic. I'll look at Frank's
@@Gregg-h6b thanks Greg
Sawdust HMW FTW

Which would you recommend to buy first, a Simpson or the Semogue? Thanks Tobin great Top 5 Congratulations Al🎉
Probably the Simpson, I seriously love the Super Badger and Best Badger
Mic sounds great on my device
Thanks!
