    Yep, I've had the Chubby 3 in Super and Manchurian, too much of a good thing. Sold them and settled with a Chubby 2 Manchurian. The Goldilocks if you will.

    Shame they don't make a brush with boar bristle. If they did I would probably buy one. Never cared for badger.

    Well the first thing that comes to mind is Mark 5:9

    "My name is Legion, because we are many."

    ...but I don't even like to joke about that. Although it is interesting that the demons were driven out into a herd of pigs.

    Badger isn't stiff enough for me. I like bristles with some backbone.

    Funny thing is that I didn’t find boar that stiff. It was just scratchy and weird feeling to me. I wanted to like it but it wasn’t working for me at all.

    Well, the old saying goes that there are two sides to every story but the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

    Not all boar is stiff and prickly and not all is is soft with no backbone. However, there is some of both. There is a mix but if you get good boar it will have substance but still be comfortable on the skin. Omega makes some excellent boar bristle brushes.

    I'm sure the same is true with badger. I just never used a good one.

    Most of my brushes are omega boar and I love them.

    It takes a while but my first boar is so soft and comfortable it a real treat.

    I have some synthetics too, a couple are nothing to write home about but i have a Rockwell and a Stirling that are amazing.

    I have a couple of Badger but not really expensive ones, i find them almost too soft and to be honest I don't much like how their made.

    Badger is ok if your face lathering with cream but apart from my Sandalwood my soaps are hard so Boar is great.

    You could always send them an email and ask if they would consider it?
