Simpson commodore X2 from royal shave

So i just ordered a Simpson commodore and some MWF from Royal shave and i have a few questions.

This is what i picked up Simpson Commodore X2 Best Badger Shaving Brush | RoyalShave
$64.40 and free shipping conus.
Has anyone ordered from them are they trustworthy site?

I been using a cheap amazon escali badger brush that was about 13.00. What kind of improvement should i notice with this new brush?
I am still new to wet shaving and learning from everyone here. I usually bowl lather and been using either Proraso green or VDH soap with my DE. I decided to up the game and am awaiting my Straight and strop kit from Whipped Dog.
I also figured i get some MWF with it. or should i try tabac? im up to trying face lathering. opinions are welcome.
i do know that MY MMV.. lol thanks in advance

Anyone at least ever order from them? Or use a best badger from simpson. Lol

I have a Simpson Commodore X3 I obtained from royal shave (I think... :) ). Fine brush, softens nicely after a soak, not a shedder at all. No complaints with royalshave as I can recall either.

Yes they are a good business to deal with. Strictly online sales but not far from me. Get on the mailing list and they send you deals once in awhile.
