The Simpson Thread

I have two of them, and like the brush. Compared to a Chubby 2 in Manchurian, it is less Scritchy.

 

I haven’t been on in a while, but had quite a few acquisitions recently Limited Edition Coronation in Synthetic:

 

Hey everybody, and thank you for this thread. I have an almost special birthday coming up and I have decided to get another brush. After a lot of research and a lot of reading later, it is going to be the Commodore X3, Ithink. I am a face shaver, I like the specs, my only concern is the splay. The Duke 3 is in second place. So it will be one of these 2 I just can’t “handle” looking at another brush .

 

I don’t have the Commodore. But I have 10 Simpson brushes from giant to small, and I can tell you that the Duke 3 is probably my favorite brush of all. It’s got a magic to it that balances perfectly the right amount of splay, density and backbone. I seem to grab for it as soon as I know it’s fully dry from my last use. It’s the Simpson I never want to part with. Happy birthday!

 

The Duke 3 will have less splay then the Commodore X3.

 

Wow, has this been a tough process which began with me saying I really need to have a Simpson brush at least start a collection with one. Then I ran into a vulfix 375 that I could have for a song and maybe I still will. That’s the problem there’s never enough.

I also read somewhere that the Vulfix super is the same as the Simpson best. I don’t know anymore..

But based on everything that I have read and the thoughts and opinions that you folks have given me on what the brushes might be good or not so good with I am proud to announce that I will be ordering a Simpson Duke 3 for birthday number 58.

 

Your post threw everything completely off, and I went to the Duke thank you

 

This was clincher number one

 

Thanks so much. I really appreciate the splay info

 

These splay comments were really a clincher

 

Hey folks. Can anybody suggest a sponsor that I can get this from. I think West Coast is responsible for their pricing is crazy and ordering it from Europe is pricey also. Thanks folks.

Here are The Simpsons in my den.
The X3 is my first and only Badger. It’s becoming a favorite!

 

I'm also itching for a new badger. I have a berk 46 that I enjoy (as far as natty brushes go) but I'm thinking I'd like something slightly bigger with slightly more splay. Duke ll in best, perhaps?

 

A duke 2 or 3 would be my recommendation.

 

Are you speaking in terms of larger knot or handle?

I really enjoy my Simpson CH1
