I got myself a Rooney XL for my birthday (the 19th) and picked up a Eagle G3 yesterday off the B/S/T as a late Christmas present to myself 
. All and all a great holiday season.

Chubby 2 in 3 band super from SWMBO. All those not-so-subtle hints worked!

Chubby 2 in Best. A little scritchy, but lots of fun. If anyone can compare it to the Chubby 2 in Super three-band, I would appreciate it.
A Rooney Finest 1/1 and a Rooney Emilion size 1. I thought I was over SBAD but I had a relapse. 
These two were Christmas gifts......
David - Nice brushes. I'm wondering if you have a Chubby 1 that you could compare with the Classic 2. They have almost identical specs except for the weight, which may suggest the Classic 2 has a lighter handle, a less dense knot or a little bit of both. And the Classic 2 is almost $50 cheaper. I've always wondered about that.
Anyways, with some Christmas money that was received, I treated myself to a Chubby 1 in three banded super. It's en route as we speak and I'm hoping to use it for my first shave of 2011.

Thanks Andrew. I don't have a Chubby1 but I will show you a photo that I took a couple of weeks ago to compare the Classic2 with a B+B Eagle and a Duke2. The comment that I made soon after the arrival of my Classic2 was that the brush is "all hair and no handle" ie it has a very large, dense knot and in that respect it would be comparable to a Chubby1.
Hope that this helps.
We heard a brawl outside and raced out to save 2 construction workers from a small, hairy guy from the Isle Of Man..........
Now........ that is special! Enjoy the process.

No thanks to Customs.............. I'm sure that you had a great Christmas anyway!

And I can assure you it's boxed up and ready to go. I'm heading out a little early today to get the packages to the PO.
As for me, I've got a restored Rooney and Ever-Ready (both with TGN finest, the Ever-Ready extra-stuffed) and a Harvard H4 on the way. (I couldn't let the Eagle go without getting another Simpson's, of course.)
A Simpson Colonel X2L showed up under the tree from my wife. Brushes do make the best gift if you order what you want and let your wife wrap it. Great brush.
