Simpsons Chubb 2 (Synthetic) - King Charles Coronation Special

Arrived today after approx 2 weeks from ordering. A fantastic looking brush, the Pictures of it on the a Simpsons website do not do it justice. The engraving on the bottom of the brush is faultless. The knot has been very well shaped, which on occasion can be a let down with the Simpson synthetics. Much depends on who putting the knots in and trimming . Is it worth the money ? yes, most definitely. Not a great lover of Manchurians so the badger hair version was not for me, and the price was rather high.

My only comment / thought I suppose was that Mark could have chosen a different handle, say a discontinued shape such as the “ Phyl” to give these brushes a little more presence rather than the easy option, oh well use a Chubby 2.

All in all, delighted with the purchase 😁

Very nice indeed, I like the engraving in the bottom, I’d like that adopted with the Simpson logo as standard. You got lucky with the knot for sure.
