I will say that I hadn’t bought a Simpson in several years and this is the most scritch I’ve had in the best grade hair. I don’t really care as I primarily bowl lather but it might not please the face lathering crowd.
Hopefully, it calms down a bit. If I hadn't bought my Emperor 2 at the time this was released, I would have considered it. Unfortunately, I have a 24mm/50mm Shavemac on the way. that puts me out again on getting a very attractive brush.
