Hello all, I recently got a new Vulfix brush and thought I should share my experiences.
The brush that I got was the super badger 660s small, not to be confused with the 660s medium, or large. For those unfamiliar with badger grades, super badger is typically treated silvertip hair. I've heard a lot of people talk about the "floppyness" of Vulfix' super badger hair, however with my brush I experience so much floppyness.... Why? Well, here's a bit of insight into the answer.
Here are the specs in regards to knot size and set loft of the small, medium, and large 660s brushes:
Small: knot size 19mm, loft set to 45mm
Medium: knot size 20mm, loft set to 50mm
Large: knot size 22mm, loft set to 50mm
As you can see, there isn't really much of a difference in knot size between 19, 20, and 22mm, in my opinion anyway. I feel that the difference between the loft settings of 45-50 is greater than the knot size difference of 19-22mm, and as such would serve to give the brush more backbone despite the softness of the grade of hair.
To some, this will be pretty standard stuff, but it's nonetheless good for newer guys to know when looking at brushes. It's why I chose the small over the medium and large.
I read somewhere that these brushes were a product of Lee's safety razors, however I got mine from fendrihan and has no Lee's markings, only Vulfix ones.
I would definitely recommend this brush for anyone looking for an excellent performing brush, both with soaps and creams, and not looking to break the bank. It was under $50 CAD, so I'd even recommend it as a starter brush if you're not afraid of the price point.
I don't want to make this into a review, but more of a hey, this brush exists, is priced decently, here's what it can do.
Hope I've provided some insight to someone!
