Manchurian Chubby 3

[Str8 Shaver]

well, after falling big time for my CH2 2Band, I decided to pull the trigger on the 'BIG BOY'.... yep, the Manchurian Chubby 3 is coming my way...

So that means the Chubby 1 Super is earmarked for a future purchase...

*sigh* does it ever end?

 

[BigBull]

No.

 

[CHSeifert]

Take some pics of it
I have the Chubby 2 in 2-band and a Chubby 2 Manchurian on order as I write this.....

 

[ridnovir]

mmm Manchurian

 

[Marco]

Congrats mate! And please post pics (brand new, with lather and post bloom) when it arrives!

That sounds like one beast of a brush. As I understand it the Manchurian badger hair is someplace between two and three band?

Wait, you went Chubby 3... no no.. you went Chubby 3 Manchurian.

Have I ever mentioned how awesome you are?

Just remember, when you don't like - drfong will still love, and will do your chores for an entire week.

Some say it has the soft tips of the 3-Band Super and the backbone of the 2-Band Super (that some is Mark, the owner of Progress-Vulfix & Simpson) others have reported the hairs were stiff like Shavemac D01 2-Band. As hairs are natural and comes from different badgers, logic tells me that both probably are right. Sometimes you get softer tips, sometimes stiffer tips.

I have a pending order for a Chubby 2 Manchurian, as soon as they get in stock and I get a price from Chris at Shaving.ie or Mark.

WOW, 10 out of 10 for service.... my brush came today!! I only ordered it yesterday... and Mark has picked me a right beauty.... A big thank you to Mark, for being such a star!!

Pics will come at the weekend, or as soon as my wife uploads the pics.... I can't find the cable to do it!!!

I have M7 and can say with certainty that Manchurian is different from both 2 band and silvertip badgers. Your description is spot on good backbone and soft tips = a winner in my book

Do you live near the Isle of Man or did you pay for overnight shipping?

 

[Mike_P]

That was quick. I wish my custom Simpsons would come that fast!

 

[Str8 Shaver]

one of the perks of living in the UK, I guess.... but I didn't expect it that quick.... awesome!!

The chubby 3 is a brush which I have been threatening to buy for many months. In fact, I sold stuff last year for the purpose of buying one but ended up going for another brush when I was on the website.

Like others, I'd love to hear how your shave goes with this one and would enjoy seeing some pictures too.

Cheers,

Mark

My SimFix Snaefell also came within 2 days - I live in Denmark.
But shipping was expensive, but FAST !!

So Mark,

Can I ask what brush caught your interest and $?

Hello MaxP,

That time I sold the stuff to buy one, I ended up with a 2-band M7. I can't say too much about changing my mind though as the M7 has been a superb brush.... It's just that I still have the bug for a Chubby 3.

And another Eagle is definitely in the pipeline. Here I go again.....

Mark
