Simpson 2-band vs. Simpson 3-band and best.

[Teddyboy]

Do any of you have the same Simpson model in 2-band and another hair type? Are they essentially two distinct brushes, or do they feel like you have two of nearly the same brush?

See Duke 3 in 2 band and Super... Very different!

They are different even though they are similar in size and loft.

I have started moving more to the Simpsons brushes in the standard "best badger" for some reason.

To me, very different. The 2-band is much better and softer.

I prefer 2 Band. But, Best seems to lather hard soaps better

Prefer 3 band due to the density. For 2 Band the hair tip is softer but the knot just not dense enough for me.
I enjoy the feeling of thick and dense brush swirling on face more.
I also found that the bulb shape of Simpsons 2 band is better for making lather on face with painting style than than swirling.

Thank you for your responses. Pretty much what I experienced. As time goes by, my affection for Simpsons Best just grows and grows.

Same here Ted. And when a want that silky soft feel I go for my Super 3 band.

I have Duke's and Chubby's in various hair, they are very different.
