Hello Kit, absolutely loved your videos. They are so informative and improved my understanding specially of brushes and helped me take much better decisions on what to buy according to what suited me. So thank you so much, your excellent videos still keep helping newer wet shavers like me. Cheers.
Comments like yours make me feel the two years I put into making videos actually had a positive impact ~! I love DE shaving and I really think it will come back to it's former glory days ~! Kit
I'm new to brushes and currently shopping for a badger brush. People have been telling me that a 2 band is better than silver tip due to a more balanced backbone and comfort level. Now I see what they mean. Thanks so much for this video. It's very helpful.
corismyn, I am glad my video helped ~! In Yaqi brushes I like three of the Two bands a lot. One is the 22 MM Sagrada Familia 2 band badger 2 the 24 mm Panda two band and 3 if you really like a large wide spreading knot the 26 mm Moka Express two band badger is good !

Thanks Beto I was quite dedicated to my channel for about two years.... and now that I have retired I am still happy to see my video's are still benefiting new DE Shavers. Kit
Hi Fi , as always your comments are the most encouraging and You are correct when you say I have passion for Old School School Shaving and a My Passion is to pass it on to as many as I can ~! Thank You, Kit
Great information on rating brushes. I went through my collection of brushes to see where they fall in the PR Index. I find that I prefer my brushes somewhere in the middle of the PR Index.
Great content Kit, stopped the vid mid way to go check my 3 brushes (2 syn 1 badger) Id call 2 mid level and 1 of my syns upper mid...Your passion in contagious my friend!
Yea ... I am so excited that you are measuring your brushes on the PR Index ..I hope you and other Shave Channels will use it so guys can figure out what type brushes to buy because of what performance they prefer~! Thanks again Tim ~! Kit
That makes me happy Stewart Kee because to mentor new people back into the fun way to shave is the whole reason I put this effort into my shave channel~! Thanks for watching and the comment .Kit
LOL now I know why the PR indexed crap didn’t catch on.... 🤣. It’s way too complicated... it’s easier just to say if the brush is soft or stiff or has a lot of back bone or not.. The veteran traditional WetShavers like myself just use the different type of Badger as a grading scale.. Black Badger=Stiff , lots of backbone, hard to splay Finest Badger=. Medium backbone medium/higher softness, retains more water SilverTip Badger = Low back bone, High softness, retains the most water Easy as that😁👍🏻
KITT George here. Begin to make videos again. I want your opinion about two brushes. The Yaqi Chianti knot and the DSCosmetics T4 knot. Is the first one the same as the Silksmoke?
So, mid range pr index brush is ideal, you think, like cashmere knot dandelion or mew brown knot, tuxedo knot? Then, what's the merit of high pr index brush like moka express 2-band badger, and low pr index brush like aqua high mountain silver tip badger? And your opinion about mountain lake 2-band badger brush? I already have 8 Yaqi brushes. And more, I'm on the fence over dandelion cashmere & 22mm cola handle brush.. Do you recommend these two?
LOL Hoon mid range PR index brushes make the most sense to me personally! I like 2 bans much better than silver tips but if you knew what i use now you might be surprised~! Have you seen my 36 hour boar brush break in video? Anyway I use two Omega Boar Bushes exclusively and I just love them that much~! My Two Razors are a yaqi adjustile that is still being developed and the merkur 39 Slant razor and that is all i use now ~! I no longer make video's now Loon and I really got down to my BEST equipment ~! Kit
@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 Except my Yaqi brushes(5 synthetic & 3 badger), I have 3 boar brushes(Omega 10098, Semogue 1305 & Stirling 24mm boar brush) I like boar brushes a lot. My 3 Yaqi badger brushes are all I mentioned above reply. And for synthetic & badger brushes, I think Yaqi brushes are best economic & quality brush. Stay healthy and have a great day!
King Kit hi, I have the Moka 2Band badger and it's fantastic. I want to add one more. Which one? I am between the Silvertip 24mm black handle, the High Mountain 24mm, the 2band 24mm in the same handle as the High Mountain.
Hello Sr, May I ask you what is the pr index on the yaqui ferrari? And Have you try west coast shaving two tone tall?in you have which one do you prefer? Thank you Sr.
There are 3 Yaqi Ferrai Brushes with different Knots.. The West Coast Shaving two tone beige knot is pretty killer man ... about a 6 PR .. good back bone and nice painter too. The Yaqi 26 MM Ferrari Tux knot is the one I really really love best of my Ferrari brushes ~! Kit

Thank you very much for your reply, Kit.
Take care and good luck for you.
Another video made with passion and willingness of sharing your experience and knowledge. Well done Kit, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

yep middle range PR index brushes are the best~!
this is really helpful I wish u remade this video
sorry I stopped making videos long ago now and I did because I said all I had to say back then . Kit
Did you see the new Yaqi brushes that came out?
Good system of grading brushes and very well explained, Excellent video.
Wow Ron R thank you for subscribing and for the very welcome compliment. It is very much appreciated ~! Thank You again, Kit
One of the best detailed video in TH-cam. Great thanks.
Thank you so much for the nice compliment ~! Kit
What would the typical $10 Omega boar brushes like a 10066 rate? Medium?

Kit I may be under thinking this or stating the obvious, but seems to me the "sweet spot" would be the mid level brushes???
@@timshull59 I agree with that personally Tim ~!
Great review! Never heard of that before!
Thanks for the info and help learnt a lot from this vid as I've just started shaving the traditional way.
That makes me happy Stewart Kee because to mentor new people back into the fun way to shave is the whole reason I put this effort into my shave channel~! Thanks for watching and the comment .Kit

Well yeah the PR index was a bit over the Top... maybe that is why I retired .... LOL Kit

Is the Moka badger THAT big for loading from the soap containers Kit?
T Rex ... It is fine for loading out of regular size containers ... like Razorock ... like omega... ect Kit
Just got my moka 26mm badger.
#DeShaveTalkwithKit you are not kidding. This thing is so nice, and densely packed. 👌💈💈❤️💈💈👌
Thank you .....do my break in ~!!!!!!! Kit
King Kit hi, I have the Moka 2Band badger and it's fantastic. I want to add one more. Which one?
I am between the Silvertip 24mm black handle, the High Mountain 24mm, the 2band 24mm in the same handle as the High Mountain.
Unless you like very low PR index (or very floppy) brushes stay away from the Silver tip. My High Mountain sits in a drawer ~! Kit
What??? So the Moka is the best choice that I made right?
Then maybe the 2Band 24mm in the Aqua handle is a much better choice?
@@T-R.e.x Yes and Yes ......... at least that is the way I see it ~! Kit
Nice video man, congrats
which is the best Pr index of a synth knot for sensitive skin?
K T I think any Yaqi brush with a Cashmere knot like the dandelion Green 24mm Cashmere would be very good.
the Dandelion is a painter PR 3 rated brush ~! Kit

Love these videos on brushes
You should get Yaqi to put your PR index on their brushes
John I have tried to get Yaqi to use my PR Index now for some time and so far they don't seem to want to do it??? Kit
Don’t use term PR eg best for soaps best for creams or suitable for both
@@airdbreck You may be on to something John~!
I like this thank you
You are welcome Travis~! Kit
Good video.
Thank you very much~! Kit
