The Colonel X2l.
What can I say? I went into this not expecting a significant difference over my much cheaper chinese badgers, or my omega boar, but right from the start the difference was apparent. Right out of the box you could see how nice and dense it was, I love the handle too.
Whipped up some tabac (face lather) and it seemed to create a much thicker, creamier lather with much less effort in comparison to my other brushes, which warrented multiple additions of water more than I'm used to to get the lather correct, probably due to that lovely density. I loved how the brush felt and how firm it was.
Overall, for 72 bucks, I'm just sorry I didn't just skip the low end and go right to this. But then again, would I appreciate it as much?
Bloom pic, because I know you guys want it!
