I just noticed Simpson's has posted a peculiar LE to their website...a CH3 in Sovereign synthetic hair, i.e., the hair used in the Trafalgar brushes instead of the Platinum hair used in their CH2, Duke, &c synthetics. It's cheaper than most of their Platinum offerings, but a lot more expensive than the Trafalgars. This is really quite interesting...I wonder if the Sovereign grade would act differently at Chubby densities. Sadly, I'm not really a synthetic guy, so I don't think I'll be ordering one myself...but it's just such a strange thing for them to make.
