👋 Simpson Trafalgar T3 Vs. Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic 👋

[TexNat]

Not exactly a T3 vs CH2 comparison, but maybe this will be somewhat helpful. I recently tried the Chubby 2 with the Duke 3, both with the platinum synthetic fiber. Both were similar in firmness and face feel other than size. The platinum fiber has very smooth and luxurious feel. I mostly use it like paint brush and use a bowl to make lather. The Chubby 2 was just too big and too much lather at once for me. So sold the Chubby and kept the Duke, which has been quite nice to use. The Rover is another with the platinum synthetic fiber that might be worth a look.

Here they are side by side for comparison for a size comparison. The Chubby 2 is big.

I agree with you. I love both the T3 and the CH2 Synthetic. I love the CH2 Synthetic so much I ended up with 6 including the original white one and 5 different colors. Somewhere along the way the labeling changed from synthetic badger to synthetic fiber. However, all of the use a different fiber than the T3. I am smitten with Simpson synthetic brushes.

You can buy a CH2 with the sovereign fibers used in the T3 if you want. Sounds like you might NEED another brush

I have a brush disorder for sure. Simpson has a scarlet Rover synthetic listed on their site that has me so tempted.

I noticed that too, but it has the lower grade bristles so not really a want for me.

Very true. I want the higher grade of fibers if I am buying amore limited addition brush.

Not 100% what you ask, but I have a “first generation” T2, which does not splay and spritzes lather all over me and the complete bathroom like there is no tomorrow, and a very recent Ch2 Platinum, a brush I love and highly recommend (it gives both my Ch2 Best as well as my Ch2 Manchurian serious competiton). Maybe the T3 in newer fiber behaves better, but my vote goes for the Ch2 platinum!
