I have recently acquired the Epsilon 2-band 27/50 [left] and the 27/55 [right]. They are both beautiful brushes. The 27/50, for some reason, took a significant breaking-in period. It stunk like no other brush I had, and would NOT generate a nice thick lather. After several shampoos, detergent washes and hand latherings it has finally come into its own. The 27/55 was much much less funkified and immediately whipped up a great lather, right out of the box.
The backbone and density are well beyond the call of duty and when you consider there is no scritch at all I am dumbfounded how they found the hair used for these knots. The 27/55 may appear a bit less dense, however I think that it splays out, or blooms more than the 27/50. The latter appears in the picture exactly as it appeared out of the box - not enough splay to show any bloom. For the money, could be the best brushes out there.
