Landis,
Shavemacs are a wonderful choice they are quite dense and have good back bone for soaps. Mine works like a charm. I would look into these.

Simpson like you mention have had issues in w/ quality control. they are claiming to have resolved all issues but I would wait it out. Granted the simpson are a denser knot than Shavemacs and better for soaps

Rooneys would also be a good brush only the styles with the shorter lofts though.
