Sorry to hear the 2 band Shavemac didn't work out for you.
With regards to lather flow I would strongly suggest loading the brush so the first white band is saturated with soap then put around two teaspoons of water on the top of the brush and build your lather. Before each pass add a few more drops of water to the brush tips. Should help. I'm sure you are already just using the tips to load and not mashing the brush.
Incidentally the Epsilon sounds right up your street.
To be honest you will always have the brush splay when lathering. What I wouldn't do is mash the brush. I like to paint a thin layer of soap on my face first, then proceed to add water to the knot and use light circular motions followed by painting strokes. I never push the brush to its base, against my face.Hmm so on the basis of trying not to push lather deeper into the brush, should I also avoid letting the brush splay when I press it to my face?
If you love the Chubby manchurian, you should give the Romera manchurian a look. You can specify knot & loft size within reason & they are a third of the price of Simpsons. Hardwood handles too. Very nice brushes.
No problem one other thing use luke warm not hot water during the pre soak (15 mins). You don't want the knot hairs to spread, which I find happens when using a hot water pre soak.
I would of agreed with that but my latest one is quite scritchy compared to the cloud like one i've just soldIf you love the Chubby manchurian, you should give the Romera manchurian a look.
