Would second the above

Thirded. You might want to move fastish on this one as current stocks are dwindling, apparently.

I got a 2201 recently, for the money it is the best out there that is a good all round brush. Stiff enough for soaps and soft enough for creams but it is the way this knot releases the lather that makes it a joy to use.

I wouldn't buy a 2201... I'd buy 2, and so would my wife

 

[pedro083]

Well looks like nobody getting another or any 2201 Fido sold out :shock: . So we might need some other suggestions. He should have really ordered more than 10 for the first run. :lol:

The golden nib finest is a good all rounder, as is the simpsons duke. Maybe wait for Fidos next brush (like waiting ever works). A broken in boar will do both, but in my opinion will favour soaps.

Oh, a good one would be a 404 Boar/Badger mix which is about £10 posted and is a good all rounder.

Right I'll dump this here cos the 404 has been mentioned.

I love the brush, really do, but it seems to shed more hairs than my other brushes. Does anyone else find this?

 

[hunnymonster]

No

 

[cheese_dave]

Dang.

 

[fozz77]

No as well. Good job n'all, it don't come loaded to the gunnels with hair.

 

[cheese_dave]

I seem to have a dud.

 

[simmo3801]

No from mine as well. Sorry Dave!

 

[antdad]

Mine did until it became a donor...but it is only eight quid.

Get the 404 mix from Diamond Edge.

Get the 404 mix from Diamond Edge.

It is the mix. It's such a brilliant brush. I was going to ask the forum what would be the best bodger to get, but for this price the answer has to be the 404. I've only had it a couple of months so maybe it's in a "settling down" phase and will stop dropping pubes in my soap soon.
