Why is this thread on the "shopping and deals" section of the forum is something that puzzles me... shouldn't be on the "Brushes" section?
Two months later and I'm still in love with this great brush! What's your opinion of it now?
In light of the new availability of this brush from Joe at italian barber, how those who have had this for at least 2 years - how do you feel about it and do you think it has lived up to your expectations?
I can only tell you why I didn't buy one. At $70 it is an overpriced brush, in my opinion. SOC 2012SE priced at $50 would stretch the limit for me. Caravella was successful because of the good value and it was made by Semogue....So why did the SOC 2012 SE flop? Please enlighten me.
I think $50 was a great price for that also, even at $70 it is pretty good. The SOC handles are the best shaving brush handles ergonomically. The knot is a proven winner, the SOC 2012 SE is much more available than Caravella (around 500 or so were made vs. 100 Caravellas) - you can still buy a new one today. So why did the SOC 2012 SE flop? Please enlighten me.
I do like my 2012SE more than my Caravela I think, it is an exceptional brush for those who like mixed hair, and a far better handle. I'll have to actually use them back to back and see.
