Good question. I have two Elite Manchurian (EM) fans (26/52mm) and the shown declaration brushworks (DB) fan (27/51mm).
My initial impressions (face lathered with the DB this morning) are as follows:
- Both feature soft tips with zero scritch. The DB 2 band has a softer feel when dry, when wet both are very soft tipped (silky feel of the DB).
- The DB is the denser brush, but with good flow through. The EM has even better flow through.
- The DB splays quite a bit, i.e. I would not recommend a higher loft than the 51mm (really is 50.5mm)
- Backbone is similar, maybe a bit more of the EM
- Both make lather with ease.
- Both are softer tipped than e.g. Simpson Manchurian grade, but with less resilient hair.
