D01 2 Band on the way..

Congratulations!

Congratulations on a super brush. The current D-01 2-Band hair Bernd is using is the best, yet, IMO. Not without some initial scritch, which is to be expected, but considerably less than that of 3-4 years ago.

So, after my 1st shave with the 'Americana' (Shavemac 24/48 D01 2 Band).. Well, straight out of the box, I could tell that The 'Americana' was going to be a wonderful brush, and it did not disappoint. Many people say it reminds them of Simpsons Manchurian, and I can see the likeness, very firm and springy, but it also reminded me of the Rooney 2-Band Heritage, dense, with outstanding 'presence' (backbone), although not as soft tipped ATM. It is scritchy when using a circular motion, but fine when using a paint stroke, but it was the first use, and should 'relax' after several more uses..... An awesome brush, and one I'm delighted to have in my collection.

D01 2 Band had too much scrubby sensation for me.  It was like a brilo pad.

It is definerly not for everyone, but those who get along with them, usually LOVE them.

Great looking brush and Bernd is a master brush maker.

I'm glad you made these comments.  Right out of the box I thought my D0-1 two-band was essentially not usable.  I could not believe the amount of scritch these knots had.  After a few weeks of breaking in [not including face lathering] it became an excellent brush, but I really had to work those tips to soften them.  Maybe it was just the batch of hair used in our knots because the descriptions D0-1 brushes posted here do not sound anything like the brushes I received.  

Anyway, congrats and good luck to the OP.  The knot will only get better.

That's a beautiful brush!

I just got a DO1 Two Band myself, and when I took it out of the box, I figured I didn't need my wire brush for cleaning the barbecue grates anymore!
