My Manchurian Chubby 3 arrived this afternoon. Quite honestly, I have never seen or used a brush like this one.
First of all, the workmanship is first-class. The knot is perfectly shaped (not always the case with Simpsons) and the tips are as white as any brush I have owned. It is probably the densest brush I have ever seen (denser than my other Chubby 3's). The knot has a fine grain that I have only seen in a few M&F brushes, but those brushes felt scratchy to me; this one doesn't. It provides a wonderful and minimally-irritating scrub.
It is not perfect, however - it shed one hair and the badger funk was a bit annoying considering the price of this brush.
Is it worth the price? I have no idea. Am I glad/proud to own it - I sure am! It's an incredible brush!
