What is the difference between 1 band 2 band 3 band brushes?

Wet Shaving Products has a great explanation of differences among the various badger grades.

Thanks EdgeRunner. Helpful. I'm gathering the 2 band provides a little more scritch, and more backbone then, assuming the same knot and loft.

I don't find good two band to be scritchy at all, although my sample is relatively small. I just got a 2 band Shavemac in the mail, so we'll see how that one does...

I can always rely on B&B for search results...even 7 years later.
