Later today, RR the Bruce!
I just used the Bruce tonight. How do you like it compared to the Maggard?
Just finished shaving 10 minutes ago. I find the Bruce has more scrub and backbone and wins in that department.. it's really interesting how different specifications can make quite the difference between brushes with the same knot material (I think they are the same).
I prefer the Bruce handle to the Maggards, however the Maggards wins just marginally with it's face feel and luxurious splay. Both are excellent, really soft brushes and I'm happy I have them both in my den.
The Bruce had enough for a 4th pass from loading a Cade puck for about 15-20 seconds. Just fantastic.
