I have a few myself. No pics handy but a Chubby 3 Manchurian, a chubby 2 synthetic, a chubby 2 (old) two bander, and the "Hive" in Manchurian.

I've been contemplating getting a CH2 in super since I own one in best out of curiosity so I emailed Simpson and got this response:

"Honestly Aaron, the step up to a CH2 Super is negligible but there is a difference. The Super hairs are slightly finer & the knots feel more densely packed.

If you’ve already got a CH2 in Best I’d personally try another brush, something like the Captain.

Take care.

Thanks & kind regards,

Mark"

A number of years ago a select few makers like Simpson and Rooney and Plisson sold a brush with hair that does not exist anymore (think global warming). Some called it super and some finest and Plisson High Mountain White. It was a true 2 band and feels like no other. The current Manchurian is supposed to be the best now but it's totally different.

If you can find a slightly used one get it. You won't be sorry.

Just ordered a Milk Churn in butterscotch, a Keyhole 4 and a Major, all in best badger directly from Simpson. Which rounds out my Simpson collection, I am now done buying anymore brushes.

Just ordered a Chubby 2 in Super.

Completely agree, the Manchurian today is not as good as it was a number of years ago.

A Chubby 2 in super arrived a few minutes ago!

Congrats, the Chubby 2 Super is an iconic brush. Its very, very dense and a bit of a lather hog but with the right amount of product produces huge amounts of lather

[thebigspendur]

A lather hog? Get a chubby 3. The 2 is a little fella.

Nice brush as all Simpsons are.
