Epsilon 2-Band Badger

[alfredus]

With my Epsilon White Horse:

And my current badger stable:

Knot: 28 mm
Loft: 54 mm

Thoughts: after tomorrows shave - but you really think Chubby is dense

 

[stillshunter]

Oooohhhhhh it's very bulbous, like a shavemac

OOI can you can them in a flat or fan?

Noice.

Actually it's not so (I think - never had a Shavemac ) - will post a picture post bloom tomorrow...

There are a lot of calls for a Fan shaped version, so I assume one will be available eventually. I always thought I am a Fan person as well, but the right bulb seems to be great as well. Pointy bulbs not so...

Gorgeous brush, @alfredus . That knot looks stunning. Congrats on a fine acquisition. Vie-Long are making some serious inroads with their badger line-ups.

Great looking brush @alfredus. I am interested to hear your thoughts on it.

Just a post-bloom picture:

Wow - so you thought your Chubby is dense

Great brush so far - full review after a couple more shaves

Farking heal.
That's a beauty!

Denser than a Chubby you say. Hmmmm..

I still have a Chubby 1 in Super on loan so will post pictures of the 2 together in the coming days...but it's a no contest

 

[Osman]

Stunningly beautiful. Looking forward on hearing how it performs

@alfredus - How's the Epsilon horse hair brush? Any good?

Wait until it malts before judging density.

Wait until it malts before judging density.

If it only sheds one hair is it a single malt?

 

[borked]

If it only sheds one hair is it a single malt?

Yes and explains why they're generally dearer!

My favourite horse hair brush - super soft tips, yet nice backbone due to the dense knot...definitely a keeper!

1 palm lather, 1 face lather: zero hair loss

...and may it never lose a hair until two generations from now when PJ Jnr, Jnr, Jnr, drills out the knot to replace with a modern synth.
