Thanks. I contacted vulfix customer support. Based on reading past experiences or users dealing with them I am not thinking they can do much. I probably won't bother with Simpsons products again.
+1. I have a D01 silvertip in a LoveYourShave handle and it is outstanding. 28mm, with only about 52mm loft, mad density, great backbone, and nice soft tips.
Technically yes, but Simpson's best is really good. I wouldn't step up to their super or Manchurian grades unless I was getting an amazing deal.
Some say you can use less soap. I am using the same amount of soap with my synth as I do with badgers. Most feel they can whip up the lather faster. I think I would agree, but it isn't that much of a difference. Most synthetics are much more affordable, $10-$20, but there are some expensive ones out there from Muhle and Simpson. The affordable ones from Maggard and Razorock are very good. Synthetics definitely dry a lot faster. I would say it is worth trying one if you haven't already. If you like the way it feels, you will win on price and drying speed, and possibly on the time it takes to create the lather. If, like me, you prefer the feel of badger, I think the only significant drawback to them is the higher price and the slow drying.
