Thinking about a custom Eagle G3 handle with 2 band hair. Any owners of the pure or best version that can comment on ergonomics of the handle design? Thanks!
Eagle G3 - Any owners?

Its a touch small for my big hands, but other than that gripe its the most comfortable shaped handle for face lathing IMO. In fact I have 4 or 5 customs based off the shape, but in bigger proportion.

I have one in Pure and am glad to have it in my rotation.
I have the G3 in Best, and it is probably the best handle design of all my brushes. I exclusively face lather, for what it's worth.

I have it in Best as well. Best. Handle. Ever.
Haven't got one. Want one. In best methinks it would be spot on, 2-band? Wow! Pics when you get it...
G3 Best here. A very utilitarian design. Very comfortable handle.
I also have a G3 in Best and I love the shape of the handle. It's ergonomic and very comfortable for face lathering. The loft, and shape of the knot are not very conducive for bowl lathering.
G3 in Best from the group buy here also.
Great brush, used very often and definitively a 'will not sell' item.

Gents, thanks for your input. I will try to get it made with a 23/50mm 2 band knot.
this seems to be a popular handle shape and one I have eyed for quite some time.
I wonder why Simpson doesn't make it in BEST as regular item? I have a feeling it would go over quite well.

Here is some more gas for the fire.

Kinda dumb question, answered by re-reading posts, wasn't aware Simpsons did customs. Looked at Simpsons for an Eagle earlier and only saw in best.
Boy, what a maroon!
My favorite brush by far for face lathering and soaps in general. Very comfortable and fits the hand nicely.
