Bought used. Kind of crazy size but why not.

YOWZA!!

This feels like it’s turning into the depreciation thread for me 🫤

I ordered this Polo 10 Manchurian

But it doesn’t match the spec on the website- it feels like a size 8 handle and has a 25mm knot when measured at the opening despite stating it’s a 27mm. The loft is far higher and I can feel the plug very clearly at the base like it needs to be set 4-5mm lower. Here it is next to my other 10 and the 12.

It’s a shame because if the knot was set lower in the right sized handle it’d probably be great.

Difference in handle diameter

 

[Dipesh]

That needs to go back

Looks like you got a Polo 8 handle labelled as a Polo 10 Paul @p.b
The knot also looks very poorly set and lofted way too high. Totally not acceptable. Get it sent back !!!

Very poor!

 

[p.b]

Yes gents, I’ll be going back.

I find myself enjoying this Rover frequently.

When you order a shave brush, and it is delivered with the specs that far out of whack it really makes you wonder what is going on at the manufacturer. I would bet these that these expensive brushes are usually ordered by members of the different shave forums. Do you really want to annoy your base?

Agreed, That brush needs to be returned back to Simpsons.

Too bad for Simpsons @p.b owns an assortment of Polo handles in varying sizes to compare it to

The Chubby 3 2-band silvertip, Platinum fibre and now this: what's going on? (I also returned today my new, under-stuffed Chubby 3 2-band Silvertip)

 

[alex1921]

I contacted them about my CH3 silver tip. Asked if there is a way to fix it, doesn't seem like there is unless the brush gets possibly destroyed.
What really irked me was the next line, since you bought the brush over a year ago it doesn't qualify for free replacement.
A. I never asked for free replacement or anything for free, just asked if there is any way to repair it.
B. Over the past few years I have bought over ten CH3 and CH2's, mostly CH3 Manchurians. I guess I am not a good enough customer.

Maybe I am over reacting but the response really bothered me.

No, you are not over-reacting in the least. I'd be a good deal more than just bothered.
