Hi All,
I have a question on brush density. I have a Simpson Commodore 3 (the newer kind- made by vulfix?), best badger. It seems to me that I end up needing more soap or creme when I use this brush, compared to a TOBS ( a vulfix made one I think) or synthetic brush I use. The physical difference I notice is the Simpson seems packed far more densly than the TOBS. It seems that Simpson holds less water and I end up needing more soap or creme and water (have been using the same soaps and cremes with both brushes), for my second and third passes.
Is is the norm for a denser brush? It seems odd to me or possibly my imagination, but I feel, for sure that I am using more soap and cream with the Simpson. I am happy with it, though it feels heavier than the TOBS or synthetic brush I have.
