I'm currently using three Simpsons with a fourth out for reknotting. I have had another half-dozen over time. None ever shedded at all that I noticed.

Understand your frustration with your brush but I hope you don't think all Simpson brushes are ***! 90+ years of brush making behind the name counts for a lot.

If you look above and find my earlier post you can see the benefits of contacting Simpson. They are very responsive.
My Simpson Duke 3 Best used to shed up to a dozen hairs if I fluffed it up when it was dry, and 3 or 4 hairs when lathering it wet. 
I shampooed it with a mild dish washing soap, and then combed it out when it was fully dry. Now it only sheds an occasional hair when I use it.

No, not yet but I plan to.
No I don't think this of all Simpson brushes. As I said, I realize it is just a defective brush and doesn't reflect the whole line. However, I have many brushes that I use with great results so I don't really have a need to try another Simpson anytime soon. I gave them a shot but I've moved on for now. If the brush would have blown me away I would probably get another one sooner. I'm sure if I got another it wouldn't have any shedding.
Sure, I do understand - it only takes one bad apple, etc, etc.
Maybe one day you will be tempted back to the Simpson line.

My brush was great but shed. But what impressed me was how Simpson stood behind their product. When I wrote to them and explained my problem, they responded the very next business day. When you produce a product in quantity there is always a chance that one may have a defect. But, when you stand behind the product, that says a lot. As for me, when I am ready for a new brush I certainly will include Simpson in the running.

It's rerally good to know that the customer service we held so dear is still paramount.

is it weird that this thread actually makes me want to buy a Simpson?

I don't think so. In spite of everything happening with the Duke, I have a 46 on the way from Jarrod @TSS as I type this. As Jim stated earlier, I have no problem sticking with a company that stands behind its products.
Reluctantly, I have decided to send the Duke to Vulfix for inspection. After a good shampooing, combing and another use, it continues to shed. This evening I lightly brushed my hand across the tips and saw a few more loose hairs pop up.
Many thanks to everyone who has weighed in on this matter. I'm sure I'll be posting more praise of the Vulfix customer service in the weeks to come.
Me too. Couldn't resist getting to pick one. It'll be joining my Colonel. Keep us posted on the Duke.
