That brush is a beauty!Seems odd that you're basically "testing" a mistake of a brush that is made by Simpson for Trumper's.
Top secret so no pictures? Sounds like a terrible brush, I'd return it.

I have virtually no experience with 2 band brushes, but I too am somewhat suspicious of the recent flood of them. I don't really have anything to base this on, but it seems strange to me that now you can get 2 band brushes for well under $150, whereas not too long ago, you'd probably have to spend at least $200 or so for a guaranteed 2 band (a small Rooney Finest). I don't see how Simpson can offer this supposedly extremely rare hair at such low prices and in such high quantities while Rooney and Plisson seem to have a harder and harder time obtaining 2 band hair.
Mine is just starting to show a slight change after a bunch of test lathers in between actual shaving times. I also cleaned my Ehsan with dish soap and gave it a quick soak in a diluted vinegar solution. This seemed to soften it up a bit as well. It also seems to be lathering better, while getting slightly softer. If this trend continues this brush will beat out my Duke 2 in best, which is hard to imagine.
I think my confusion stems from the original limited edition custom two-bands that used a handle of a brush usually only available in Best, yet they filled it with Super two-band hair. I assumed that's what I had got, when in fact mine is Best two-band (I think).
