Simpson Chubby 2 - 2 Band Super Availability?

[adyf]

When was the Chubby 2 - 2 Band Super manufactured? I can't seem to find any new for sale anywhere, is second hand the only option? I'll tell you why I ask, last week I purchased one used but the sale fell through when the seller informed me he had dropped it on a porcelain floor while cleaning it for packing and fractured the handle. Now me, extremely stupidly (embarrassed to admit), made the assumption that all Chubby 2 Supers were two band and promptly ordered a new one. Arrived yesterday and then the awful truth dawned on me. If I can obtain one, I could always sell the Super. In fact is the 2 Band drastically different to the Super or negligible? I was hoping the 2 Band would tear through hard soaps. Well there's my confession for the day, please go easy on me.

Thanks for the advice, I didn't realise that.

You could always tweet Simpsons too. I've ordered two brushes in the space of a week with Simpsons with no hassle.

Yes to everything above, several vendors get them from time to time but only a few at a time and they seem to sell out fast.

I am a big Simpson fan. However, in this case I would strongly suggest you consider the Rooney Heritage Stubby 2XL offered at vintagebladesllc.com. It is a superb brush that, in my opinion, provides all of the benefits of the Chubby 2 2-band, with an even softer, nicer feel.
And I forgot that it is very likely to be less expensive - $229. The Chubby 2 2-band, new, will probably be at least $50 more.
