I know my wife loves me but this in torture!
I was looking at getting something a tiny bit different as a shaving brush. Don't get me wrong, I love my re-knotted Simms and I use that Omega Boar brush sometimes... However, I was curious if I get something with a lower loft and a bigger knot if it would be better as I always face lather now... I will know tomorrow.
I got a Rudy Vey based on the Chubby 1 (24mmx48mm two-band finest). Rudy was *very* quick to make the brush and ship it. I love the faux-horn handle and the grip is fantastic!
I was thinking of buying a Simpson Chubby but then decided, why not spending a bit of money on one of our vendors? I am not disappointed!
Nice looking brush Snargle. Good to hear you're going to use it as a boar brush.
I do cringe a bit when I see people removing old boar knots that look perfectly fine and replacing them with badger. That may be from my slight bias toward boar brushes though.
