Loves a smelly brush
I’ve been buying a bunch of Simpson brushes lately. I’ve noticed that most of them smell fine right from the get-go - my Super, SiLVERTiP, and of course Synthetic (duh) all smelled fine right out of the box.
Today I received an M7 Manchurian and it is maybe the smelliest brush I have ever obtained. Practically stunk up the bathroom and even after multiple washes with Bronner’s Castile soap it was still turning the suds brown. I’m letting it dry after washing it 3-4 times and it’s still stinky. Hopefully the next wash after it dries will tone it down more. It’s surprised me after buying a handful of other Simpson brushes that didn’t stink to get this level of odor this time, but it happens.
The only brush that ever came close was Vie Long, but it was more of a chemical smell.
What’s the smelliest brush you’ve bought new?
