Well I'm after the expertise of the brush experts here.
I only have three brushes having PIFed my initial EJ Medium badger. My Semogue 1305 (brought on the strength of Drubs ravings on whirlpool about trying these I think), my Simpson Chubby 1 (brought following the wise words of Drubbing that if I didn't get one I'd always be wondering) and my Simpson MC2 that my wife gave me for Christmas. I also have an EJ travel brush but it doesn't count for some reason 9go figure!).
As I mentioned elsewhere here I'm thinking of just having the two brushes and was thinking of getting rid of the Chubby because I think I prefer the MC - it just looks cooler.
Don't get me wrong I still think that the Chubby is THE brush but the MC isn't that far behind that I can't forgive it's weaknesses for the cool factor.
The only thing stopping me keeping the MC and selling the Chubby is the shedding I've been experiencing with the MC. Regularly around a dozen hairs per use over the first couple of uses then it reduced to around half that but then the other morning this came out:
Not sure if the pic shows it but it is 12 or so hairs stuck together in a clump, down to the glue at the bottom holding them together.
I never noticed losing a hair with the Chubby which I understand is unusual - they usually lose some. Is the MC behaving normally though or do I have a problem?
Thanks
