Simpson Brushes Appreciation Thread

[Optometrist]

So there's a chance 2-band silvertip Chubby 3's are possible?

Are you ordering one also?

I mean if it's an actual real possibility and only a matter of finding the correct hair, well I don't mind waiting and if Good Mark wants half the money down payment for his extra efforts, I can understand that completely.

It's a possibility, yes, but I won't hold my breath. In any case, I've long since changed my mind. My enquiry was more out of curiosity than anticipation.

Tonight's shave, I brought out the Simpson CH2 "Dark Knight" synthetic. Haven't used it in four months or so, and going with A&E's Asian Plum, which simply smells like "bubblegum" to my untrained olfactory, lol.

Waiting on a new Trafalgar 1....

My first, and perhaps only(?) synthetic.

I have the Trafalgar T3 love it - amazing value.

Tonight, it's the Simpson T3 and my favorite PAA scent - Garden of Bali 2.0

Orange blossom, ozone, cedar, and the ocean.

Don't laugh, love the scent so much I even bought (3) of the solid colognes and matching Garden of Bali T-shirt, lol

Here's the matching t-shirt. It's like totally rad man!

Blends so well with that Simpson Copper Ice colorway. Dayum, that's a sweet brush, it's so photogenic - thanks again Good Mark.

My favourite brush, but mines just boring old butterscotch! Loving the yellow one, and candy stripe.

I hope you enjoy them.

I always loved my Simpson brushes, but I haven't bought any new brushes in quite some time, except for the Trafalgar 1, which I was pleasantly surprised with, but should have gone with the next size up.
But, for the synthetic aficianados, is the synthetic hair in the higher priced Simpson brushes, Chubby et. al., at all different from the "Sovereign" synthetic in the Trafalgar series?

Congratulations David,

My favorite brush also and those are so beautiful. For you, pure enjoyment for years to come.

... a related note, Mark is still seeking just the right hair for a CH3 SiLVERTiP in candy stripe I hope to secure sometime this year.

Thank you, very much. Hopefully, Mark will be successful in sourcing the specific hair for the CH3.

Yes, quite different. I prefer the premium fibres used in the Chubby but I know a lot of people actually prefer the cheaper grade... The backbone can be bit OTT on the Chubby synths.
