Did someone say "59"?

Just got a 57. Judging by the box and label it must be a few years old. The previous owner said he rarely used it after getting a 57 in manchurian badger.
Terrific brush! Congrats! Used my 57 yesterday and all I can say is that it is a total joy!
I've been using my 59 for the last few weeks. It's fantastic for bowl lathering creams.
Went to my 57 today face lathering Haslinger's: TERRIFIC! (What else can I say?)
Used my 59 today. It's not fitting into my brush stand that I use in the shower when shaving. It's a great brush though.
I will have to get a stand with a larger gate.
This is the most bulb shaped Simpsons knot I have. I got it recently from eBay barely used. Probably from someone who visits here I imagine. It's got an older Made in England sticker.
The 59 is not as tall as the Polo 8 but it is chunkier.

My 56 is one of my favorite brushes, along with my Classic 2!
58 today. A desert island brush for me. Think I'll just stick with it for the week.
First time through this thread, great read! I was thinking D3 next but I guess I've got to consider a 57 or 58 now.
Simpsons 57 in best today was just terrific! This is an outstanding brush IMHO!
OK this thread has tested my resolve and leapfrogged a 58 straight to the front of the line for my pending acquisitions. Thanks for sharing!

You won't be disappointed.
Are those o-rings that you've put on those? If so that's an interesting idea, do you feel like you get added grip?
O-rings. Yeah.
I have them on a few brushes. They don't really do anything functional. I thought they would help stop any clanking in my soap dish. At least in theory. In reality they just look neat.
I will have to get bigger ones to try one day. The little ones in the picture are too high up to improve the grip or anything.
Pardon the pun...
I'm liking the grip and feel of the 57 so much that I am now considering getting a 59 as well.
Last night I pulled the trigger on a 59 and it is now on the way to me from Maggard.
Here’s a side-by-side comparison (for scale) of the 57 and the 59. The 57 is about as small as I would go (in this model), given the Fifty Series handles ergonomic grip profile. The 59 has the perfect amount of heft for when I want to go with a bigger/meatier brush. Also note, how the 57 has a higher loft then the 59, though according to the Simpson website, they both have the same knot diameter/width. Any idea as to why that is?
