Well Marco I had my first shave last night with the Chubby 1 Super and it was with MWF as well. I face lathered with it and I have to say I was mightily impressed with its performance. You are correct as well as Andrew (drumana) who just got one too that it is a DENSE brush. What I like about it is that it has more of a fan shaped as opposed to the more bulb shaped D3 I have. I think the fan shape helps open the hairs up and get some flow through in there. I got some great lather with it and it'll remain in the lineup for sure. It's soft tips were nice, but the D3 in Best gives it a run for its money.
It seems I've been bitten by the Simpson bug! I have a Chubby 1 two band that Brett sent to me and hopefully will be here today. I think I will be doing a comparison review between the Chubby 1 two band and three band Super's and one between all three (D3 included).
Thanks for all your advice Marco, been enjoying your reviews too, although they're costing me money
Now what will my next Simpson be??.....Milk churn, colonel, tulip, Ehsan....hmmmmm
Justin, I essentially agree with your opinions. The Chubby 1 Super 3 band is a VERY dense brush and the densest I've ever used. Its tips are extremely soft and it's an overall superb brush, especially for face lathering soaps. I just rate it a step below the Duke 3 Best, which is my all-time Simpson favourite. Compared to the Chubby 1 Super, the Duke 3 Best is slightly less dense, but with a great backbone. The Duke is also more scrubby (something I love) and has a larger, more comfortable handle.
Thank you, Justin. Several B&B members are saying the same thing about my reviews... But what can I do, if I'm a so passionate wet shaver?
Your next Simpson? I'd consider the Colonel X2L Best.
