Chubby 1 Best or Chubby 1 Super

I really like the size of each of the these brushes. I have an SR 3118 and a Shavemac 220 so it would put the Chubby in the middle, which will hopefully put off the SBAD for another few days. I definately want the Chubby 1, but I can't decide which one to get, Super or Best. Any thoughts? One last thing, Has anyone written comprehensive reviews of either of these brushes?

Thanks all.
 
You only live once, man. I don't want to hear you lamenting on your deathbed decades from now, "IF ONLY I'd have ordered my Chubby 1 in SUPER!!! AARRRGH!!!"
 
I asked a similar question not to long ago. I was trying to choose between chubby 1 in super and SR 3118 or 3120. Well against the advice of some on this board I bought the Chubby 1 in super. For some reason I couldn't help myself. Needless to say I am very happy with it. I think it is a great brush for both soaps and creams (although I primarily use soaps now). I also think it feels very soft on my face (it is not "barbed".) It can whip up a huge amount of lather in an average amount of time. It holds the heat of the water very well. It also holds a ton of water.

One thing to note though with the chubby 1 that has been stated before, there is a bit of a learning curve in using this brush. It took me a little while to figure out the water ratios.

Also buy it from Lee, he has great prices.

That's why I'm asking because Ouch told me that is exactly what would happen if I made the wrong decision! :w00t:
 
I got a Chubby 3 in Super, felt the bristles, and returned it: bristles too stiff and the brush as a whole too large. I now have a Chubby 2 and 1 in Best and, for me, that's Best. :smile: (Sorry) But of course YMMV. I do have a couple of Simpsons in Super---the Emperor and the Major---and I like them fine. So it's not the Simpson super in general, just that Chubby (and the PJ and the Polo---all those Supers felt too stiff to me).
 
I'd say go with the super..... besides a Duke 3 in best is basically the same brush as a chubby 1 in best, so if you go best - you'll want to get the duke as it'll be cheaper, and the same size/quality.
