    I get questions pretty regularly about one size vs. another on some of the brushes I own. I thought as a purpose of reference I would pair up the Dukes and Chubbys I own so you can get a better idea of the differences in size... and of course show off my brushes while I'm at it :rolleyes:

    *All these are Best Badger grade*

    Here is the Chubby 1 next to the Chubby 2:

    Here are all the Dukes 1, 2, and 3:

    A little cool thing about the Duke 1, it fits perfectly into the tube for the Case Brush. The Case was a touch small so I sold mine off but got a hold of another tube. I now have the perfect Simpson travel brush:

    And of course no round of photos is ever complete without and updated group shot from the Den:

    Forget the brushes! That towel looks mighty soft. It looks like lambswool.

    Wow Mike,

    Great photos and excellent information, Thanks!! :D

    It is so helpful to be able to see the brushes side by side like that, we also need side by sides of the Polos and PJ's :drool :drool :signs154

    I only have on PJ right now.

    Lee needs to get me a PJ2 in stock!

    But here's a Polo 8 and 10 for you to look at :D

    In all seriousness, you have a beautiful collection. Very impressive! I don't have any Simpson brushes yet but I'm saving up for a Chubby. :D

    Thank you Mike! A Fantastic collection indeed ;)
     
  7. Exactly what I was looking for - good comparison shots. Thanks Mike! I'm thinking the Chubby #1 will be a perfect size for me.
     
  8. WOW...what a group shot! That deserves a 2nd...(3rd..4th...) LOOK!

    Impressing collection! Thanks for sharing!
    P.S. I have a spice rack just like that in my kitchen, IKEA?

    Ikea, you say...Hmmmm...it's on the way home. How can my wife say no to more "stuff." "But honey, the rack looks so empty!" :D

    Gotta love Ikea :D

    The photo is a bit outdated though. There's been about 5 more added to the herd since that shot. I'll be nice and give y'all an updated one here soon.

    I think I'll go by IKEA later this week and get me another of those racks... Thanks for the tip Mike!

    - Hey honey, I'm off to IKEA to check out some nice racks! Back soon! Bye, bye...

    I tend to break my brushes out based for certain uses.

    Soaps - Duke 2 Best (Polo 8 Best is close second)
    Creams - Polo 10 Best
    Method - Shavemaster V200... obviously
