2 band version of Shavemac DO1?

I am looking for opinions of anyone who owns or has used the 2 banded brushes from Shavemac. I am thinking of purchasing a 2 banded brush and I am looking at the SB1-167-22-2B. It is Shavemac's 2 band version of their DO1 badger brush with a 22 knot. I already own a Shavemac DO1 that is a 3 band, 24 mm knot, 50 mm loft with a natural horn handle which I love and use daily. I thought I would try a 2 banded brush and I am looking at the Shavemac brushes because I like their quality. Does anyone own a 2 band Shavemac and what is your opinion?

What you really need is someone who owns the shavmac and also and older two band like a Rooney Finest. The real issue is whether the new two bands are really the same as the old 2 bands.

Here is my two-band brush, the knot was custom-made for me by Bernd of Shavemac, its a 441/42 mm loft and the knot size is 19 mm - I call it the extreme fan or "Flat-Top". The handle I made from a piece of Sambar stag antler, real hard stuff, but it polishes to a perfect glossy shine. It is right now my favorite face lather brushes. I think the tips are softer than my Rooney Finest or the Super Badger T2 of Simpsons.

I went ahead and purchased a Shavemac DO1 2 band brush. Prior to purchasing the brush, I was not able to find out much information regarding the Shavemac 2 band other than the helpful comments by Rudyvey. I thought I would post a few photos, just in case anyone was interested. The 2 band has a 22mm knot, 44mm loft, 38mm handle diameter and a 47mm handle height.

For comparison, I have included a photo showing the Shavemac DO1 2 band with my Shavemac DO1 3 band with a natural horn handle. The 3 band brush has a 24mm knot, 50mm loft, 38mm handle diameter and a 52mm handle height.

I have had the 2 band only a short time, but so far I am very happy with the brush. There is enough difference between the two Shavemac DO1 brushes that they will work nicely in a rotation

This is a Shavemac 2 Band that Mr. Rudy Vey built for me. It has a knot size that is a hair over 25mm & a 49mm loft. It is an excellent brush with both creams & soaps. It has soft tips coupled with good back bone. Recommended.

Awesome brush Fozz! Rudy always does great work!

With Bernd you can choose tall or short loft, bulb or fan (in this case 28/65 and 30/55). Great brushes!
