I own the chubby and find its damn near perfect for me, super soft, dense and backbone galore...BUT I have been seriously interested in the thater from the reviews I have read. My question is do I really need the thater? will it be better than the chubby in the those three aspects? or is it just a good brush that may be on par but doesnt surpass the chubby. I hope some of you guys on here have owned both and can chime in on this. Thanks!
