Vulfix Simpson 2-band

[RayG]

Anyone get one of the new Simpson 2-band supers? How do you like it?

I have one (T2) and it's fantastic. If you can get one I highly recommend it. Great, resilient bristle, that holds tons of water. Sof tips but nice and stiff hair.

I got a Polo 10 2 band, and it's become one of my to go brushes. No shedder. I've heard a few complaints about shedders. Not as much as pre vulfix. Very resilient, dense brush. A nice scrubbing feeling but without any scritchy or scratchy. Crafstmanship is excellent. No more black ink stamping as the inscriptions are done in the handle and the sticker stays on forever. Not a big deal for me personally as I don't shave with the sticker but the Simpson aficionados love it. Hasn't bloomed much since I got it.

Looks really nice, Max. I am thinking a Polo 8 may be in my future.

Ray,

from what I've seen and heard the new Simpsons 2 band are made a bit larger compared to the older measurements. Don't know if it's because the 2 band but my Polo 10 is 28 1/2 /58 while a Polo 10 is normally 27/54. Also the chubby I've seen are much higher, A chubby 2 that's supposed to be 50 loft is now 53-55mm. Not to forget that the bulb shape has taken over compared to the more flat cut.
The regular 3 band super seems to be a thinner hair and bloom much more as before.

I have a Polo 10 just like Max's.

Mine on the other hand may be a shedder. It looses anywhere from 3~7 hairs every shave. But I am giving it to the end of the month before I contact Brett at Vulfix about options. I love it though, and I think that is what is keeping me from doing anything about it. I can't say I like the shedding but, I love it. End of story.

I think Tony has some left on his pencheta website (or was it the golden nib?). Check it out.

Ray, It looks like he does have some Polo 10's and Persian Jar 2's in the two band, still in stock. The Chubby 2 is sold out though.

The current Simpsons 2 bands creations from Vulfix are outstanding iMO.
I have a chubby 2 which i think is the holy grail for me.
