guys, there's a ch2 in best on the bay ending in 90 minutes. do i want it??? i didn't care for my polo 8 in best, too scritchy but the ch2 has such a reputation. my other option is to go with a tgn 24x57 knot in silvertip which should be about a 50-52 once it's installed in the handle. looking at face lathering. (i know, i'm nuts but every forum needs a guy like me the tgn should cost less than the ch2. about 1/2

Gil, I think if you found the Polo too scritchy, then you would probably find the same result with the CH2. I say spend some more and get the Super. (Enable, enable, enable).
Best,

i am thinking the best maybe less of a lather hog since the ch's are so dense. i'm not interested in the supers cause of the density. remember, i went with the tubby cause i wanted a polo 8 knot in a ch handleThalay Sagar wrote:Gil, I think if you found the Polo too scritchy, then you would probably find the same result with the CH2.

This is what I said about my Chubby 2 in Best. My closing remarks show perhaps the origin of my thoughts about the need for a slightly smaller brush:

Are the Bests less dense than the Supers? I've never tried a Simfix Best and Super in the same model so I can't give any relevant info as to the question and am curious. I can say that my T3 3-band Super is not a lather hog and is remarkably soft on the face, but different knot and all that. And it sure doesn't have the lather release of a good boar, but then what does?
Best,
Chris

well, i suffered from sbad but survived. i actually bid way more than i wanted to but still lost and still have remorse. i probably would have had remorse if i had won the brush. so it appears there is no happy ending when you suffer from sbad. if i had won the brush i would have wanted an intervention

Chubby 2 Best
I actually won that Chubby 2 in Best. I'm looking forward to comparing its various qualities to those of my Chubby 3 Manchurian and Chubby 3 Super, both of which are dense and neither of which is really scritchy.
