    I liked it so much that I ordered a Polo 12 in best from the same retailer offering a deep discount.

    With Simpson Best Badger is the value proposition in the badger lineup and it's performance ain't too shabby either.

    Post a pic of that next to the 10. I’ve considered an even larger one but thought it might be a bit much.

    @OCDshaver, this pic probably gives you the best sense of scale for how the two compare.

    Oh, yeah. That’s a significantly larger brush. I like it. It’ll probably gobble up a half a puck at a time. But I might have to go in for one.

    Good choice! If you do, go through the Saint James of London website link I sent you. You'll save $65 and you'll get a grey-box era Simpson with a best knot that is more like super or silvertip.

    Just remember that Simpsons tend to be smaller then they look in photos.

    The knots on the 10 and 12 are essentially Chubby 2 and 3 knots.
