Simpson 58 Two Band has arrived

[German]

I continue my exploration of Simpson Two Band brushes with the recent addition of a 58, knot 25/50mm. Similar to its cousin - the Duke 3 - in density and knot size this 58 turns out just great in the softness department. Neither the Duke 3 nor the 58 have any (!) scritch to it. They are actually exhibiting much softer tips than the Super 3 bands I also own (GYLE, Duke 3 , Chubby 1). Thus, at least in my experience based on these two (not representative) brushes Two Band hair is the grade to go. In backbone, softness and density both the Duke and 58 are similar to the Thaeter 2 bands I have. Only the XL series (fan!) beats them in backbone. Pics below...

That 58 has a sweet looking knot. Nice fan to it. Looks like you got a keeper

Where did you get a 2-band 58. I think I've only seen them in Best.

superiorshave.com ... but they sold out.. he still has a few 2 bands left though... I just ordered a Tulip 3 to complete the set...

I've heard so many mixed reviews about the 2 band. I ordered a Chubby 3 in 2 band and, after your review, I'm really looking forward to it. I was a little hesitant to get the 2 band because I love the best grade so much.

I hope your Chubby turns out well... Simpsons tend to be very inconsistent and there is a lot of talk of scritchy 2 band... Both my Duke and 58 have very soft tips... I hope the incoming Tulip will too...

Holy.....cow

The T4 is on my list, but I'm going to see how my Chubby turns out. I may go for the T4 in Super. Good luck with your Tulip!

Very Sweet!

It's an impressive brush. Enjoy your 'best badger'

Regardless of the knot...the handle looks super comfortable. Enjoy!
