Ok so I bought a Duke 3, and really enjoyed it. The second brush I brought was the 27mm epsilon, I just got this brush this past week. I have worked it twice to try to get rid of the funk. Today I used it to shave with. The brush is the two band version and is very dense. I love the face feel of this thick brush.
So my question is this. When I was using the brush today I noticed that the cream seemed to be held very close to the knot and it didn't splay as well as my Simpson. Will this open up over time or do I need to make sure I use that much more product. I did find myself using more cream than normal already. Am I doing something wrong with the denser brush? Is it easier to work with a brush that is less dense?
I'm asking these questions cause I'm going to be buying my dad a brush and I'm not sure what type would be easier to use for him. I want a brush that will have a good brush with a decent backbone and nice tips. Thanks yall
