In my opinion, everyone should at least once experience chubby3 or polar 12 and 14. In my opinion, in addition to the hair grade, what makes Simpson special is the density.
I have bought and returned about 7-8 brushes , polo 12 and 10 and chubby 3s ,due to complete lack of density -and those brushes did not feel special at all.
I have some brushes, I don’t use, or use them once every couple of months, due to how rare and difficult they are to obtain.
For example, my polo 12 super in grey box - is my densest brush and it is such a joy to use.
I would buy them from place where it is easy to return. talk to them ahead of time. Explain to them that you would like them to ship you to three brushes and you would pick one of those. Most windows would work with you.
I agree with Rudy, there is variation in the hair, the above mentioned polo 12 super is in a league of its own compared to all my other brushes.
I also have a polo 12, which is the best, and the hair is nothing like super, Manchurian, or best. It has fantastic backbone, and only the very end of the Tips ever so soft and velvety.
good luck finding your brush .
