Thread: Simpsons Chubby 2 vs Meseto Shaving

I've had my Simpsons Chubby 2 Manchurian for a few weeks now so I'd thought I'd do a side by side comparison.
A point to make is that they are two different types of bristle but as the Maseto is based on the Chubby design I thought I'd post my thoughts anyway.
Both are great brushes with about the same dimensions but feel very different to each other, the Chubby is far denser and provides much more of a face feel with scrub and surprisingly a little scritch, the Maseto on the other hand is more in line with a Thater, moderate density and backbone and softer, I believe the Manchurian will soften with time, my Duke Manchurian is about the perfect brush for me and that took a month or two to break in so I daresay the Chubby will too.



Now I can't not mention price. The Maseto was £50 and represents fantastic value for money, the Simpsons is about 4 times the price is it 4 times the brush? No not at all but to me you are paying for a handmade brush from Great Britain not in some back street sweat shop in China, the quality of the build is better and I would assume the consistency of quality would be better.

If I could only have the one brush it would be the Chubby but I could easily use the Maseto exclusively, it is a great brush at a great price. All in all it comes down to available funds.
