Are the Manchurians more bulbous in shape than their super and best counterparts? That one seems virtually circular! I have never ventured into chubbies from Simpsons, but could see one in my future.Blackbird OC 101

Halvor, in my experience, the smaller knotted Manchurians such as Duke 3, 58's, tend to be almost perfect fans. The more dense chubbies are usually hybrid in shape, although they can lean a little more in either direction.Are the Manchurians more bulbous in shape than their super and best counterparts?

You made me curious, so I had to look it up. This one isn't half bad? Postage is less than the cost of the soap at least. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322334339491Here's the second of the relatively inexpensive tallow based soap samples kindly gifted by @Bizzyberry.
Prior to receiving this I'd never heard of Monsavon Bol à Raser. It's a soft type croap and the boss knot synthetic whipped up a great creamy lather with a decent amount of slickness. The scent is pleasantly fresh and not overpowering.
Yeah.... if I could find a UK supplier I'd buy this. So far the only options I've found is where the shipping costs more than the soap! Definitely one for the wish list.
Thanks! But have a look at OJ's brush. Wouldn't you call that pure bulb even?Halvor, in my experience, the smaller knotted Manchurians such as Duke 3, 58's, tend to be almost perfect fans. The more dense chubbies are usually hybrid in shape, although they can lean a little more in either direction.
I have not tried best or super from simpson's, but I do have a Duke3 Manchurian and it's a fan knot, a superb knot!! The chubbies I've got is more bulbes and some more backbone and scrub..... What I have been reading is that chubby2's is more scratchier than chubby3's... What are you looking for my norwegian friend?Are the Manchurians more bulbous in shape than their super and best counterparts? That one seems virtually circular!

I would say leaning more to bulb than hybrid, yes. It reminds me of the very early Manchurian knots that Simpson made. Not a problem so long as the loft is adequate to compensate.Tougher Manchurian hair does not splay as much as the 2-Band SiLVERTiP hair which are bulbous, intentionally, to increase backbone.Thanks!

That would be a question for 2018, I'm afraid. Or at least not until I have re-lost my senses againI have not tried best or super from simpson's, but I do have a Duke3 Manchurian and it's a fan knot, a superb knot!!
