It doesn't have a glue bump but I think the knot isn't as dense as most Simpson Supers. I think I even thought it might be floppy. A nice soft knot and a beautiful handle however. I like the smallish knot in a long handle. You don't see that very often. It's a long time since I used it. I'll dust it down and give it a whirl tomorrow and see what I think.
CH2 Rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!Precisely.That's the road I took, never looked back...
Except to add a Chubby 2 Super after this pic.
Seriously, you have to have a Simpson rotation, because you want to (and should) use one every day, and they need a day or two to dry.
Dang near bought an M7 the other day, based on what @Owen Bawn says about that brush...

I reckon I ought to get me one of those. I'll order one now. Any other recommendations?
I don't disagree. My keyhole 1 and tulip 2 are 2 of my favorite brushes. Smaller knots, which have some loft to them, and average backbone are excellent!
I just used my E3 with Williams Mug Soap. As Simpsons go, it isn't the most dense knot, so it reminds me of silvertips from Omega, for example. Actually with regard to density it reminds me more of a Vulfix than a Simpson. Very soft tips, it doesn't have the backbone everyone seems to crave these days, but it stops well short of floppy. It is nice to have a small knot on a long thin handle- my M7s clang around in the mug like a drunken bellringer. So no, it isn't my favorite Simpson, but that's more a statement of personal taste than it is about the quality of the brush. For many men the Emperor 3 is their #1 brush. I think I paid in excess of $99 for mine- it was probably from one of those WCS sales some years ago. I don't remember.
I have a Polo8 in Best and I love it. Like a big M7. I don’t shave my head but the Polo holds a ton of lather.
West Coast Shaving is a good choice.
