I just saw this post on twitter. Interesting.
Look who's getting into the synthetic game.

Great idea! Lots of people do not want an animal hair brush. The more options the better!
Plastic pollution.
Any idea how much it costs?

I'm tempted to be snide and say "more than it's worth," but I have no idea. I just came across the post and thought it was interesting. They seem to be following suit to Muhle's success with the silvertip fibre brushes.
Plastic pollution.
Haha. We'll as long as they are developing a new type of fibre, I'm all for it. That way it will make Muhle and Simpson try to out do each other. Muhle seems to be the only one innovating new types of fibres at the moment.
This.

The question is, are they using a proprietary plastic, or the hair of humanely harvested teddy bears?
I will be curious to hear how the synthetic brush aficionados around here rate the knot in comparison to Muhle, Omega and other synthetic brush makers. If they become a standard in the line up, I'd love to see them resurrect an older handle design to make it a brush of its own, and not simply a synthetic Duke or Colonel. The more variety for us brush guys, the better.
Looks like just a prototype
interesting tho

Interesting.
Recycled toilet brush, probably.
+2 It will be interesting to see how it compares to the much-praised Muhle.
I'm confused. I read here that the Muhle synthetics are well regarded so I don't understand the negatives in regards to Simpson offering a synthetic. Do y'all think that they won't bring a good brush to market?
Don't get me wrong -- I prefer natural hair brushes. But I am of the mind that the more variety/innovation, the better.
I wonder if they'll start trashing the other synthetic brush makers on twitter?
I wonder if they'll be able to actually keep two knots the same?
