Simpson Brushes Appreciation Thread

Love the tortoise brushes @Optometrist

My current range of Simpson brushes consists of the following.

Chubby 1 Manchurian
Chubby 2 Manchurian
Duke 3 Manchurian
58 Manchurian
Captain Manchurian
Custom Duke 3 3-Band SiLVERTiP

I've bought and sold many more, mainly because I went crazy and bought the same brushes in different coloured handles. I'm learning, now, though.

Love the tortoise brushes @Optometrist

Thank you, Dipesh. The tortoise may not have the vibrancy of the other colours offered, but its markings and semi translucency are gorgeous.

This is a tribute thread.

Myself, too, I've bought and sold too many.
Regret selling my Chubby 2 Two-Band and possibly my PL10 Two-Band as well.

But on the other hand they are just two more shaving brushes, and we live and learn in this life.

Lovely brushes! I regret selling my Colonel a while back but have no plans to replace it. I do fancy a Chubby 2 Synth if they've sorted the loft issues out.

Another favorite of mine, the 57 in Best - great bloom on this knot

I love each of these brushes in a special way, even though they all come from the bargain end.

Left to right:

Wee Scot - BB
Commodore X1 - BB
Chubby 1 - BB
Duke 3 - BB
Colonel X2L - Super (aka Ehsan custom job)

FYI, the knot on the Chubby isn't wonky in real life, its just been in its box for a couple of months.
If there was a fire tomorrow and I could only save one - indecision would see me burned to a crisp.
Next on my realistic list from Simpsons I think will be a Case (BB) and travel tube to replace my Vulfix 2190 (PB), although I also like the '57 and...and...etc

I'm now suffering serious brush envy. Feel like I need a Simpson in my life

Love my Milk Churn.

You buggers may have just pushed me over the edge! I'm so close to pulling the trigger on a Commodore X3. Should I do it?

Of course!

You only live once! Go for it

I fear for my willpower....

It's gone!
