    I like my Thater 26mm but I love my polo 8. You can't go wrong either way but I'd go the Simpson.

    I feel the same as Jimmy about the choice between these fine brushes.

    You might consider the Persian Jar x3. I love mine. It's great for face and bowl lathering.

    second that bill,(pixelixed) or ray(walleyeman ) or several of the others can make a very nice brush for you ,, I only have these two so that's all I can recommend but your other choices are great too tc

    Would have to say if not going with a custom from one of the locals on here, I would pick the simpson. I don't own either of those models but have both a thater an a simpson. While both are great brushes the simpson just performs every time exactly the same. $.02
