Very nice Chris. How is it working out for you?

Re: My Edwin Jagger large Super badger picture
I had my EJ brush for 4 and 1/2 years. It was very good brush. Now I have to wait next month to get a vulfix 2234. West coast shaving is now available.

I've had one for, gosh, 6-8 years now. It's used regularly and I like it very much.

+1. My wife picked up one for me around the same time as squire. Great brush, for sure.Squire wrote:I've had one for, gosh, 6-8 years now. It's used regularly and I like it very much.
Re: My Edwin Jagger large Super badger picture
I've been tempted to pull the trigger on an EJ super for some time. I haven't done so because I don't have a good handle on how these brushes perform. I like soft brushes, not too dense and some backbone; my top 5 brushes are BK4, Simpson's Colonel best, Thater 4292 Silvertip, shavemac Beehive Finest and Simpson's Emperor 2 super. I would want a knot of 22mm-24mm diameter. Any suggestions?jww wrote:+1. My wife picked up one for me around the same time as squire.

Re: My Edwin Jagger large Super badger picture
It's a large brush, and packs a ton of lather. There is some floppiness to it, but not too much -- I'd say that it is sturdily floppy-ish if that makes any sense. I find that I need to squeeze the brush between passes to bring the lather to the top of the bristles. It is very easy to use, and can produce lather as good as any brush I own.
The version which Squire and I own are somewhat different than Chris' brush. On mine, the fan opened up a lot as the brush aged -- and I felt that was a good thing. It's a totally different brush from my Duke 2 -- way higher loft and wider knot.
You know you want one, Bryan .....

Softer, not too dense and some backbone? Yeah, I'm with Ron.
Best,
Chris

Mine is slightly stiffer than a BK4, just slightly.

Re: My Edwin Jagger large Super badger picture
Bryan it's the Ivory Georgian handle model which may no longer be in stock. I just visited the EJ site and didn't find it but if I can dig out my calipers I can post some measurements.
Did find something interesting though, EJ recommends using a circular motion to build lather with soap or cream, even with face lathering.
