NO It never does.

A couple more ducks are on the way.

Two vintage Russian straights for restoration, and a Remirol 5/8 Sheffield recently purchased from the classifieds. Stoked!

A Henckels, Wostenholm, a Sheffield on their way and to be restored when they get here.

Phrank, I noticed a Chubby 1 in one of your pics. Obviously you like it or you probably wouldn't be buying a Chubby 2. I'm very interested in these brushes. They look so dense. Do you use it with your mugs? It isn't too short? I primarily lather in my g-12 scuttle or an apothecary mug. I do have a couple of smaller mugs that I use occasionally.
I'd love to here your thoughts/opinions about the chubbies..

Arrived today. Just in time for tonights shave.

I went to a shaving store here in Toronto and held the various Simpson's brushes and the Chubby 1 in Super Badger just felt great, very dense, huge backbone for that strength on the face I like while lathering, and it was the perfect size. I'm a face latherer, and it was fine in my Old Spice Mug, really works up a great lather and feels great. Tried one of my older brushes again, and the difference in density is apparent immediately. With a brush this dense, I've found I have to push the brush deeper in the puck to get the soap deeper into the brush, otherwise it was dissipating very quickly.

I just snapped when I saw the Simpsons Chubby 2 in the Classifieds, I blacked out and when I awoke, there was a receipt in my inbox....thinking this one might be a bit big for me as I face lather only, but we'll see.

More Blades



Stuff to work on.
Blades to go to Meet in Tennessee in spring.

Mens Essentials on Danforth west of Pape...be careful going there, LOL, they have a pretty big selection of soaps, some straight razors and strops, lots of DE stuff, and lots of brushes of all makes...Simpsons has a tall glass display filled with all the various models.
