Simpsons Synthetic brushes

The best Simpson synths IMO are the M7, Duke 3 and Chubby 2 in Platinum IMO. I don’t like the Sovereign fibre at all, but many love it. Platinum bristled brushes are expensive but the knots are excellent.
Welcome to the forum !!
Welcome to Badger & Blade.
That said, maybe try a Trafalgar T3 which I feel is a good brush for the price. Plenty wide.
Never heard of a Rover in synthetic. Where'd you see that? Lovely handles.

Welcome! I’ll also suggest the Trafalgar T3.
Welcome to Badger & Blade!
I second that, for a brush that is affordable, Trafalgar T3 auda be just right for you.

I just got the Trafalgar T3 in the mail today. Looks nice. I will use it tomorrow.
Mine showed up today too.... I'll use it tomorrow
Oh my gosh, you both received your brushes same day, and will be using them on the same day tomorrow too. You guys sure know how to get me excited over here. I can't wait to see the reports on how you feel about your brushes, and the pictures of the lather too. You guys are awesome!

Yes it is 100% a rover Synthetic, the Sovereign grade represents superb value for money.
The M7 is a delicious Synthetic as well.
How do I attach images?
Just above the message box you type in, there should be an icon that looks like a photo inside a frame. Click on that, and from there you can upload a picture, or link to one you have hosted elsewhere.
Ok. I used the t3 synthetic. It seems to be well made, had a nice feel to it. The bristles don't have any initial stink, the softness is great and it whips up a nice lather. I had a synthetic brush from about 10 years ago and didn't like it much and only used it when I wanted fast drying like on travel. I much preferred badger. This synthetic is super nice and I plan to use it often. A great purchase. It doesn't hold water like the badger but for the price and the construction I can fully recommend it and use it.
Awesome, so glad that you like it! See, even among the synthetic's, there are good brushes, and bad brushes. When I first went into the shaving hobby, I thought all badger brushes were the same, I learned the hard way that they are not. It kind of forces one to try experimenting with different brushes to find the right one. Which, if your buying a lot of badger brushes, can get quite expensive.
At least for the most part, synthetic brushes are pretty cheap, unless your buying artisan synthetic's, then the price goes up considerably.
The handle is a very subjective choice, hence design aside, the best overall grade of hair is the Platinum, the best value for money is the Sovereign.
I love all my Simpsons synthetics so much...
