just bought this very brush from bst and used it yesterday. i have a ch1 super and ch2s in manchurian. now, this thing replaced a grail ch3 i let go a couple years ago. big mistake. (place big tear here!) i found out why this brush is so cool. a dense beast that loads like a catapillar tractor. doesn't release lather quite as well as some of my other brushes but who cares. the size is too damn big for daily use but i don't care. my face loves the perfect scritch and no other brush i have stays as warm throughout the shave. i could live with a ch 2 super and be happy having a ch3 super makes me ecstatic. cleaning it is a chore but again expected. it just looks superior on the shelf like it owns the den

To be honest - I love the chubby 2 knot - the handle forms is the problem

I have chubby Manchurian 2,3 M&f polo 30 mm and 3xl both in finest.
Thanks
I received my Chubby 3 Super on Friday and used it on Saturday. It's a gorgeous brush but a bit big for my hands. Everything I read about it in terms of quality and density was spot on. I was probably not using enough product as I could not create a good lathe, so....if I decide to continue using it there are two things I'll keep in mind: 1) Re-calibrate the mind and use tons of product and 2) Have enough time to truly enjoy what I believe should be a royal shave.

If only they made a Chubby 3 handle with a Chubby 2 knot in it, it would be ideal for me.
Chubby 2 handle far too small.
Chubby 2 knot almost perfect.
Chubby 3 handle almost perfect, though could be a bit longer.
Chubby 3 Super 3-band knot is just a bit too large for my preference.
The Manchurian Ch3 is much better size wise, but not feel wise IMHO.
I think a Chubby 3 knot should be a perfect bulb for it to really shine, like the CH3 2-Band knot, which almost is perfect.
YMMV

Really like the brush and have used it a couple of times with mixed results. Love everything about it, even size but just cannot get the lather right. Still pushing through. I see it like being scared to by a sports car because you find it hard to drive a stick. Something's you just have to learn to do if you want to enjoy it. Keeping my chubby 3 if only because I've always wanted one. Would it be my only. No but one of a few in rotation. Yep!
