Thread: Simpson 2-band - a conspiracy theory

I have been curious about the new Simpson/Vulfix 2-band supers, and this week got a PL8. It is too early to do a review, but looking at the knot, the hair looks really, really similar to my Rooney Finest. Darker and thicker strands than the old pre-vulfix 2-bands. Same springiness as the finest, with similar soft white tips.

The abundance of the new Simpson 2-bands eerily coincides with a shortage of Rooney finest brushes. Last time I looked, the Rooneys were not exactly flying off the shelves, mainly due to price.

If Vulfix is getting the badger hair from the same supplier in China, well, that would make the new Simpsons that much more of a bargain.

Of course, I could be totally wrong.

Anyone with a Rooney Finest and new Simpson 2-band with their observations?
