Is this the BSTI'm very late to the party. These brushes are awesome although I'm not a fan of the Simpsons Manchurian hair type. The Super arrived today, completing my lineup:

I could've saved a lot of money if I had just tried one of these earlier in my journey.

I think they'd be a bit too big for me.I Think you need a Chubby 3
It just makes sense
Those are great looking brushes!The chubby is a great brush. I do find myself very paranoid ill drop it on the bathroom tiles though.
I've condensed my brush rotation into two great wee Oumo brushes, a Leonidam 28mm and a Monster Chubby3 Manchurian bought off BST here a couple of months ago. They now sit proudly on display in my bedroom, directly in front of the fragrance shrine.

Chris, is there any chance you could describe the face feel of the brushes? They are stunners for sure.
Badger brushes aren't for me (right now, no brushes are, I have a beard!), but I'm always intrigued in the multitude of different types of knot and so on.
I'll have a go Shubs. Probably the first place to start is with scritch and scrub. Scritch is the feeling of prickly hairs that poke you during use and provide a scratchy sensation in use. I've disowned brushes in the past because of this sensation. Scrub is a softer, more exfoliating sensation often provide by a larger hair width - similar to a well broken in boat.Chris, is there any chance you could describe the face feel of the brushes?

Backbone - these brushes are famous for it. They're some of the densest knots I own. The Best brush has the most scritch of the bunch but it's a softer scritch than I've experienced with other badgers. The tips were soft and it was pleasant to use. It's the type of brush I'll use on occasions and enjoy but the SiLVERTiP trumps it. I wish I had found the SiLVERTiP brush earlier in my journey. No scritch, good backbone, lovely scrub and very soft tips. It's a dream brush for me. I've only palm lathered the Super so far. It's denser than the other two as the Super hairs are much finer. It felt lovely during the palm lather and I'm looking forward to using it. I won't be able to give proper feedback until I've used it but the impression from that palm lather is that it will have less scrub than the SiLVERTiP but very soft tips.

I've had a couple of CH2 synthetics and couldn't get on with them. Probably because I've tried to use them like my other synthetics.I have the Chubby 2 synthetic and it’s the best knot in my collection.
