Edwin Jagger Extra Large Brush in Super

[Solidus]

Anyone have this brush? I'm intersted in purchasing but don't know the loft size of the bristles...maybe one of you gents can inform me. Knot size is 25mm. I contacted TESC, they say its a 52mm...seems a little short for that size brush.


Also, how do you like the brush.

Thanks.

Which brush? There's no picture in your post.

I have a EJ extra large, best badger, in a immitation, horn handle. I decided not to get the silvertip as I read they sometimes get soft and floppy after use. I got the best badger and I am very happy with it. It is soft, but still a little scrubby, like my Omega/Semogue Boars. I don't think you need to spend the extra money for the silvertip. I got the extra large because I wanted a thicker knot/handle combination, similar to a chubby. Of course it's not quite as thick as a chubby and is longer haired, but it has a certain stiffness/softness to it that I really like the feel of. I think they are running about $65.49 plus shipping, from The English Shaving Company. I got mine last fall for around $47when they were on sale and paying for the shipping. It is my best brush. I have four boar brushes, with soaps, in rotation during the weekdays. I use the EJ badger on the weekends with creams. I would buy another one. The quality of the handle is superb. As much as I like my boars, if I could only have one brush, it would be the EJ extra large with best badger. If the Extra large is to big, then I would take a look at the large. They are around $50 I think.

Thank you...This a good review...I have the large in super, it is a little floppy and soft...I like it but I wish it was little denser...I want something comparable to the Chubby 2...maybe I should keep an eye out on the BST for a Chubby 2...I appreciate the reply.
