Have you purchased any Super Badger brushes lately? I have over 20 Simpson brushes (most are Best) and this is the first Super hair I have purchased and the only processed knot I have gotten.

Yes, a chubby 2 and an emperor 3

I was only recently gifted a real ivory simpson brush
from the same owner
and the very same
and vast collection owned by him

a privilege
Indeed

to own a brand new unused simpson brush in real ivory these days?

IMHO Simpson should do more colors, and less Ivory color.

Love, Monarch Red Blue White.

I disagree. Their ivory colored handles are iconic.

Think it's a personal preference, Like Colors, v/s Ivory. Sort of like my choice if I wanted a Simpson, would be hard choice, Duke 2, or 3, v/s Chubby 1, or 2.

Need not worry on that as I do not have the fund to fund a Simpson purchase.

this post was for a genuine and real ivory
simpson brush?

not a resin or later coloured model!!


the later resin models
are or can be coloured?

as they are made of resin so can be any colour

but the original and rarer or genuine simpson- ivory models

remain as what they are?

uncoloured but real ivory???

Interesting info as POPS had a Simpson he got in Uk, during WW-2, it disappeared in time I last saw him alive and death.

Now I questing it was Ivory, someone bagged it.

Resin don’t dry out or crack like Ivory, but Ivory is very valuable today.

Manchurian Polo next to super badger the Manchurian is much more larger

The Manchurian has such a high loft it doesn't even fit into the travel case as the last image shows it sticking out of the case

I wonder of Simpson is still doing own knotts?

 

[jimthecamera]

as far as I know they are all hand selected higher end chinese imports these days
no one in the uk to my knowledge collects badger hair any more?
in china they have huge badger farms?
