The Next Brush

Dennis,

Whatever you decide, I'm sure you'll be happy. Although I've never tried a Saville Row, I'm recommending that you include one in your final consideration- as everyone here has said, you can basically pick whatever handle style & quality you like, and rely on the fact that you're getting something worthy of your cash.

One other note about the Simpson, if you decide to go that way: Lees Razors is fantastic; I've spent hundreds of dollars there for items for myself in NYC and to family in other cities all over the country. And you get Lee's expertise if you call on the phone- he's always helpful and glad to point you in the right direction... But I think emsplace might be cheaper, at least on the Simpsons. (And I really HATE to take business away from Leesrazors, but money is money. Right, friends?)

As of right now Ems price for the Chubby2 Super is $249.95 and Leesrazors is $320... Compare shipping, tax, etc, but I'd obviously go with the cheaper of the two.
 
As for me, I found that the Rooney Style #1 Super with a 24mm knot to be the perfect compromise. Very tightly packed with just the right amount of scrubbing yet soft on the face. The Rooney does have a nice full bloom.

And the winner is.....


...Simpson Chubby #2 in Super! :w00t:

On its way from Lee's Razors today - thanks Lee!

Thanks for all the comments all. If I don't like the brush, keep your eye on the b/s/t forums... :biggrin: Lee thinks it will be a good match though and I am hoping he is right.

Mike, what made you decide on the Chubby over the PJ3?

Based on what I was looking for, the Chubby was on the short list while I had not considered the PJ. I looked at it, read the comments, it was OK but not really different enough to me. Plus I wanted to order it from Lee and there was a 10 week backorder. SWMBO was being accomodating recently for some reason, and who knows in 10 weeks. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Dennis (or Mike, take your pick..) :tongue_sm
