New Vulfix 2235

[dpmtherrien]

All of my 6 brushes are smaller knot brushes, they range from my travel 19mm, up to 21mm and 22mm ones. I just purchased the Vulfix 2235 from Classic Shaving, and that of course is a 24mm brush.

I've just started straight shaving, and I thought having the larger knot would enable me to mix a better lather. Well the first time I used the 2235 I was amazed at the lather. Doing nothing different from my usual lather routine, my scuttle just filled with rich creamy lather using this brush. I got it in super badger and I do find it much more floppy than my other brushes, but man does that thing turn out the lather. I have large hands, but I have always liked the smaller knot brushes, they just felt better in my hands.

This larger brush is something though, I'm really going to enjoy using it. Any other members have a similar experience?

Regards,

Paul

I started using a Rooney 1/2 which has a 24mm knot. I was using a 22mm knot for two years previously. The 24 is about as large a knot as I would like; definitely nothing larger. I do get a GREAT lather.

I regularly use the Vulfix 2235 in Super Badger hair and totally agree with your observations.
It produces mounts of thick, rich lather.
A fantastic brush.

I have a 2233 in boar, a 2234 in super, and a 2236 in super. They all lather well w/ the advantage to badger. The 2236 is a monster of a brush!

Glad you mentioned that the 2236 is such a large brush. I was going to order that one but changed my mind and got the 2235 instead. Glad I did as I feel the 24mm is plenty large for me.

I got a great deal on mine and purchased it for less than the 2235 was going at the time. At first I thought it too large but now enjoy its luxurious feel on my face when I want to take extra time and really pamper myself. The 2234 is my favorite size.
