Just picked up a Chubby 3 Manchurian on eBay!

Actually disappointing because there was no backbone and no scrub which is really, really strange for a Chubby. I believe Simpson has set the loft of new Manchurians higher and is using a softer Manchurian hair. It is just a soft pillow cloud. I wanted and was expecting a lot of backbone and scrub as I fact lather. The loft needs to be set much lower on the new Manchurians because of the extremely soft hair.

I just picked up one off eBay too a few days after you, you got a score with the price too great find.

Are you planning to keep it?

How was the first shave with it? I love my Chubby 2, there always comes a moment during the lather process (I face lather) when a bunch of warm water retained from the soak gets released onto the face.

That brush shouldn't be doing that. Are you adding water during your second pass?

Nope, I do not add water during the second pass. I use the 'Marco Method' for lathering and do not squeeze out the water from the brush after soaking, just letting the excess water drain off.

Beautiful! I’ve been window shopping for a Simpson for quite some time...
