So I finally used the Duke 3, both with soaps and cream. My first initial use is that I'm not nearly as impressed as the Chub2. I feel the chub was worth the ticket price, the Duke didn't seem to want to behave, to its credit I didn't give it much time to soak. I'll try it a few more time before I sell it. For now, I look forward to trying the Emperor 2.
Chubby 2:
Awsome, very dense, soft when you want it to be, VERY scrubby when it you want it to be. Depends on the pressure applied. The density prevents it from splaying out and becoming a mop. When dry, you can really get a feel for just how dense this baby is. The bloom is beautiful and nice to rub (I have a problem).
Duke 3: not as dense, splays out a little more than I like, lather was tough to build and it was a bit dry. This might be the low 1 minute soak time. I'll give it a fair shot tomorrow, but even when I did get it loaded when pressure was applied it splays out a bit to much.... I didn't hate it, but for $115 I wanted to love it more, I think I like the density of the chub2 spoiled me...
Anyone know if the emperor 2 is more or less dense?
