Simpson's poll

[Demaratus]

I have ONLY Simpson's brushes!

All my badgers are Simpson’s. I do have boars too, though— so cheap in comparison.

Where's Big J ?

HA!!

Love my Simpsons!!

My current line up: Tulip 2 super; Chubby 1, 57, Duke 2, Classic 2 and Wee Scot (all in best). Over the years I have had a fair number of others that moved on.

Got four in my stash left:
Polo 8 in the old 2-band super (stupidly sold my PJ and T2 in this hair)
M6 Manchurian
T3 Manchurian
CH2 synthetic

Polo, M6 and T3 are my favorite handles from Simpson, never cared for the Chubbies, guess with carpal tunnel and arthritis, one prefers certain shapes that are easy to hold, and the Chubby style is not such.

How do you like the knot on the CH2 Synthetic, Rudy?

How do you like the knot on the CH2 Synthetic, Rudy?

Not a fan of synthetics in general, but this one I like, as well as Muehle's syns.

 

[Earcutter]

I used a Simpson for years until I discovered my synthetics. Now I’m on a synthetic kick, but Simpson is as classic as Prorasso if you ask me.

Best kept secret in shaving, only second to Tabac.

+1. Tabac doesn't get much press for some reason.

 

[Cino]

I must confess that I'm a bit partial to the Chubby 2. It scratches every itch I have.

Chubby 2 synthetic here. Too stiff for my tastes

 

[bigbrucefan]

The Simpson super hair is luxurious on my face. The chubby handle is not my favorite, bit the knot is.

I'm a bit partial to the Chubby

 

[Rory1262]

Berkeley in Best and Wee Scot. Surprised I'm only the second to mention the Wee fella.

Not yet, Rudy

 

[shave/brush]

I have the Chubby 2 in synthetic. I love it.

 

[Uncas]

You Chubby guys can stop anytime now

 

[Jaybeez]

I've been unlucky with Simpson. First brush I ever had was a Colonel x2L and I picked up a Wee Scot from Merz in Chicago while traveling there. Both shed like crazy and I threw them out. That said, I've always wanted a Chubby, so may take another run at the brand.

 

[Egmont]

Colonel in best. I like everything about this brush and have not been tempted to buy another badger brush. Great performance, quality, and value.

I had a Wee Scott but left it behind in a hotel somewhere. Now I travel with a cheap synthetic brush or go brushless.

One of the few who make a brush using the traditional methods regarding hand tied knots and assembling, the handles are top notch and Mark is a true gent.
