Hello,
Are there any US/Canadian retailers that carry the Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic?
Thank you

Straightrazordesigns out of Ohio stocks it.
It's a special edition so it might be hard to find. Order it from them directly. You'll get it within 2 weeks.
If you're use to big brushes that hold a lot of lather do yourself a favor and don't buy this brush. I understand the prestige of Simpsons brushes, but the Chubby 2 is my least favorite synthetic brush I own. Just so i'm not totally flamed for these comments my favorite synthetic by far is the Edwin Jagger XL.
I'm curious here. My CH2 Synths hold enough lather for me to do my usual 3 pass shaves and I end up squeezing out enough for probably 2 more passes when I clean them. Are you having problems getting enough lather without reloading? Not flaming, genuinely curious as what you say is contrary to my personal experience.
If you can justify the purchase price to yourself, do not stop, do not pass go, order it immediately.
I have both the ivory and the butterscotch versions. If for some reason I were to lose them, I would immediately order another one.
They are, without question, the best brushes I have had the pleasure of using since I started wet-shaving years ago.
FWIW, both of mine were ordered direct from Simpsons.

I have four Simpsons synthetic brushes two Chubby 2s and two Duke 3s, in ivory and butterscotch. The ivory Chubby 2 was ordered from Straight Razor Designs and the others were ordered directly from Simpsons. I have other brushes (both badger and boar) but rarely use anything other than one of of these four synthetics.
I've been wondering the same thing. I've seen a couple of threads where guys had ordered the D3 synth, but haven't seen any follow-ups.How do the duke 3 synthetics perform?
