I have had a chance to use my new Maggard 2-Band Badger for 3 shaves now. It is an excellent brush: 24mmx56mm. It would be close to perfect with a little less loft.
I like the look of these too, although I do think they seem like they could be a little floppy. @Bobcat I know you have a nice collection of brushes, what would you say this is most comparable to?
The Yaqi two band knot is my favorite! This brush is priced extremely well. Now no one has an excuse not to have a high quality badger brush...unlike a few years ago where $80 was the starting point for a good quality badger brush.
