But I did anyway. So I inquired about a Chubby 3 from a well-know B&B vendor several months ago and he replied "To me, and again this is only personal preference, there's not much point to Chubby unless you get the broadest, flattest, shortest-lofted ones; that's what makes a Chubby a Chubby. So #2's the call in that regard, but #3's the most ideally flat atop it, but with those extra ~3mm of hair length (unfortunately we can't know if they were both set the same depth, Simpsons buys hairs in various lengths) I'd choose 2, but I'm sure 3 would do a great job of touching my face all at once." I love the snark at the end.
He went on " I think CH3's on of the least practical brushes ever made, but CH2 isn't really practical, either, and it is your life; there's a huge difference between 28mm and 30mm+, all those extra emm emms are on the outside of that circle and that's a hell of a lot more hairs, probably more than is in an entire "S1B", for example. We have a tiny group of 'dead enders' whom always buy the huge stuff from us...you're a small but fervent minority."
This really made me laugh out-loud and I love his honesty. He was trying to talk me out of a $$$ purchase...I want vendors like that...and I appreciate a man with opinions & conviction. My CH3 has been out on tour for a bit and I got her back on Friday. So I did a face lather with some Castle Forbes in the shower this afternoon. This brush feels absolutely luxurious on your face, no scritch whatsoever, just a wonderfully soft massage as your build the lather. Really fantastic.
