Best Brush for head shaving

I tried a semogue 620 and while I liked it overall it was much too small for a full head and face shave. I've found with head shaving that a bigger brush is much nicer, like my Parker Best Badger.

Assuming price doesn't matter, what is "the best" / your favorite brush for a full head and face shave?

 

I have a RazoRock Plissoft that does quite well. It is the last couple of photos on my Den. But, with that said, a good head lather is a real treat for me, regardless of the brush. Right now, I'm using a smaller Vie-Long horse hair brush and it does a fantastic job as well.

 

How big is your head exactly? Just kidding. Price doesn't matter, you said: Get a big, fat Simpson Chubby 3.

 

Yes the Simpson chubby is looking awesome, what's the difference from chubby 2 to chubby 3?

I've been leaning this way and was just wondering if any other contenders out there.

Normal size head lol but I love a good lather!

 

I really like my Stirling 26mm. Thinking about picking up one of Maggard's new 28 or 30mm synthetics at some point.

 

Any one of the new synthetic brushes works great for me.

 

I was at a shop today lokkkng at Kent brushes and they don't look as stiff as the simpsons. Leaning to the chubby 2 or 3! Where does the Manchurian badger fit in with the regular rating system?

 

I have made two 30mm brushes so far. They would be great.

 

The 24mm WD boar knot I have is doing great for a full head+face shave. But maybe a 30mm might be better for you.

 

I am not sure what you mean by "rating system"?

 

Sorry grade would have been a better term. There's pure badger, best, super, Silvertip... where does manchrian fit in?

 

Here's one for cost effectiveness ... my Brass Bruiser 24mm Synthetic
Handle ... $2.99
Knot ... $6.95
Total ... less than $10

Of course I'm very cheap .

 

Well I've narrowed it down to 2: Simpsons Chubby 2 or H.L. Thater 4125. Honorable mention is the Vulfix 41S.

I could not seem to find any of the "Manchurian" badger for sale right now, I think I am actually leaning to just the best badger. All of my brushes seem to soften up pretty well with use.

Any input on the Simpsons Chubby 2 vs. H.L. Thater 4125 would be appreciated.

 

My hubby likes silvertip badger. His brush is a 26mm. He's not a big guy, so this is fine for his face and also comfortable for his hands.

 

I have a 30 mm synthetic Yaqi dedicated for head shaving.
