Evening all,
I currently use a Simpson special pure badger that I bought when I first started DE back in 2012, but have been pondering a brush upgrade for a little while now. I like the special well enough, but find it a bit small these days and could use some more lather for my 3rd pass.
I had my eye set on a Duke 2, and am looking for a bit of input from users. I face lather exclusively, mostly use cold water, and tend to like my brush fairly contained (i.e not floppy). Also, I prefer a balance of skritch and softness, which is why I thought I'd stick to badger.
Does the Duke 2 seem like a good fit? Any recommendations for an equivalent or better brush for the price? Replies would preferably be from those who have first hand experience with said brush. Thanks!
