I'm on theme with a Sheffield razor and a totally British setup today. Very enjoyable shave! Makes me want to return to London and visit the shops.

Second Manchurian Chubby 2 I see today. These seem very nice

Here is a photo that has my brush in it. The brush has more backbone than most of my badger brushes but it has soft tips. I really like this combination of features. Because I have Walds, C&H, Doglaration, Brad Sears, and others, this one does not get used enough.

That looks really nice. I'm suspecting it might be similar to my Zenith badger based on your description

Based on what you say about the Zenith badger, I'd agree.
