Simpfix Two banded Chubby 1 Super - it does exist!

[Michael S]

Manx 2-band CH1 super next to a Somerset 3-band CH1 best.

First impressions of the Manx brush:

- stiff and scrubby loft (soft too!) compared to the Somerset
- loft much smaller than the Somerset brush!
- handle not quite the 'classy' look and feel of the Somerset

Totally different brushes but I like both equally!

I havent heard the term Manx before. What does that refer to?

Manx = from the Isle of Man, which is where Simpson brushes are now made.

Hi, Manx = from the Isle of Man, an island off the west coast of the UK (some of us are old enough to remember the Manx Norton bikes from the 1950s/60s that competed in the TT races...) Vulfix is based near Douglas on the Isle of Man. Cheers

Isn't that the place where they chop off cats' tails? Does Vulfix have anything to do with that?

Vulfix now own the Simpson brand.

There was a Simpson Chubby 1 in two band prior to the Vulfix take over it was branded as a Manchurian:
