Not much to say. My top brush in rotation was my Chubby 2 Best as far as producing quality lather. My $40 boar SOC just put it to shame today and it isn't even fully broken in. If this brush is supposedly going to get even better I won't know what to do . Maybe, things aligned JUST right today, water, temp, technique etc...but a new lather standard was set. I still like my badgers, but WOW, just WOW ...at what that SOC did today. A pleasent surprise. The soap was EJ Seabuckthorn which has seen my other brushes too.
