Semogue SOC 2 band

[Predict]

Hey all, my current favorite brush is the soc boar. I also have a "mighty midget" an Edwin Jagger best badger, and an 1800 boar. I'm looking for something a little softer and bigger than the EJ. I'm thinking the SOC 2 band. If anyone has one can you recommend it? is it a good step up from the EJ? I bowl and face lather. I had a Shea moisture brush and it was too floppy. I want something I can use on hard soaps as well as creams.
Thanks
phil

Go for the SOC 2Band I can't recommend more than enough ! It Initially is scrubby but turned soft after about 10 bowl/palm lathers to break in. It Screams Quality and literally the best bang for your buck SB IMO. Also lathers anything you throw at it and best price is at VScent excluding VAT.

This was my response from another thread, if interested here is the link.

I have the SOC cherry boar and I recently ordered the 2 Band...can't wait to get it. Did you go ahead and order it Phil?

I ordered it yesterday from vintagescent. Along with a stick of la toja. Can't wait to try them both

My favorite brush and soap. You're in for a real treat.

What do you think of it? I love mine.

I have the SOC 2 Band with Cherry handle - for the size brush it is - I'm doubtful that you're going to find anything comparable for anywhere near the price.

I ordered one from vintage about 6 weeks ago, I took a couple of weeks but I saved about 30 bucks. This is my first badger brush, I'm used to the 1305 boar. They both do a good job for me. I face lather and The soc does a good job, has plenty of backbone, loads well, holds plenty of soap for 3 passes, does what I need. Keep in mind that I am no expert but for 60 bucks I think it's I nice brush

Pound for Pound, Dollar for Dollar it's one of the best badger brushes on the market.

What about the SOC in Super Badger? This brush is barely any more $$ than the 2-band. Is the Super the better of the two?

They are the same ;-)

Ok now I'm confused!

I recommend that you take a look at the new 2-band from Vintage Blades. I just got a 22mm to go with my EJ BBB and it is amazingly soft with good backbone, and at $25-$29 it is a very reasonable brush. Here are a couple of links -

Good luck!

I have both SOC brushes, the 2 band is an amazing brush, dense, doesn't hog lather, great back bone, soft, beauuuutiful handle - SOLD
