2 band shavemac custom

[Cyril]

I'am about to order a custom D01 brush from Shavemac.

I have read in other threads that 2 band is available.

Can you tell me if it is interresting to choose this rather than the standard D01 silvertip ?

Do you tend to face lather or do you use a bowl/scuttle then lather on your face?

Do only use shaving cream, soaps or a combo of both?

What loft size and knot size are you considering?

Just basic questions to help answer your original question.

I only use cream with my 177. Now I want to use this new brush with soaps mainly.

I use a bowl then lather on my face a couiple of minutes.

I consider a 23 mm knot with a 52 mm loft (bulb shape).

Oh yes its the bees knees for face lathering, soft, water absorbent, super dense, and resilient.

I am kind of skeptical with Rooney apparently pretty must closing or limiting production on the 2 band and much of the top of the line stuff more resembling 3 band yet some outfits seem to have no issue with sourcing the stuff. I wonder if the new stuff is really the same. Reviews I've seen seem to indicate say a Rooney Finest compared to the customs and others two band is a different hair.
