I thought I would create a new thread so guys could discuss this in one spot.

I'll start this off.

Mine arrived yesterday. My other Thater is a chubby 3 which is the closest thing to a classic 2 band I have ever seen. The group buy brush is totally different. It has none of the scratchiness like the other or any classic 2 band and is much more like a typical silvertip only it has no floppiness and has some backbone to it.

It's truly a unique brush and is a middle step between the classic 2 band and typical silvertip probably leaning more towards the typical silvertip variety.

It's a worthy brush to add to the collection and is equally at home with all types of soaps and creams and the ergonomics are pretty darn good too.
