I took possession of one of these the other week, this is now my go to, it may be that I was using an inferior brush before but this thing works an absolute treat. Holds water really well and I really like the handle sizing/weight.The peregrino has recently caught my eye. Everyone seems to be impressed by this Roswell fibre in particular. Mantic59 praised it recently.
I bought a sample of the Thos. Tew AS last year and was not impressed. It was like splashing OJ on my face and the scent lasted about as long!! Major fail that AS.Used the Peregrino again last night, this time with Black Ship Grooming's Thomas Tew. It performed excellently. I stand by my comment above.
I ended up moving the Black Ship Grooming Soaps on. The performance and scent was fine but they just weren't going to stand up against some of the other soaps in my den.I bought a sample of the Thos.

Here's a side by side with the CH2:How do these PAA brushes compare to the Chubby 2 Synthetic? Are they in the same ballpark in terms of softness and density?
Here's a side by side with the CH2:

The PAA knots are softer. They're also 24mm. Completely different face feel to the CH2. See how the CH2 knot is set deeper in to the handle which pulls the fibres closer together? The PAA brushes are more of a hybrid fan shape. Personally I prefer the PAA brushes. If you're after something similar to the CH2, it's not these.
...I’ve been looking for a second cheaper brush for travel. I’ll look into this and the RazoRock Plissoft Bruce.
I didn’t think there were knots softer than the CH2! Thanks for the comparison, the PAA is certainly interesting.

I really like the look of this new PAA brush:

I'm cool with that. I get on really well with the 24mm knot in the Peregrino which this is supposedly the larger version of.In their description they openly admit it's not a new knot. It's simply a reverse color Tuxedo.
