Is it better than the Chubby 2 Synthetic?
I own both and if you're looking for splay in a brush, the Chubby 2 isn't for you, it's a painter. Hands down the T3 is a better performer and value for money, in every department.Is it better than the Chubby 2 Synthetic?
I much prefer the small light hollow plastic ones favoured by Omega used for their boar brushes (but that's a whole different issue)
I've thought and decided to try and get a Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic. I love the chubby handle and it sounds like a really good brush and just what I was looking for. Hopefully, I can get one off the BST. Because a new one it's a bit too much for what I'm looking to pay right now.
Thanks again for all your input and advice. It's been most appreciated.
Thanks
Callum
Mike, it's the colour and the softness of the fibre/knot.This might sound stupid but
what makes a cashmere knot a cashmere knot ?
is it basically white or is it a certain material or something else ?
Do we call every white knot cashmere ?
I had a "Snow White" Cashmere knot (from DS Cosmetics) and it was a lot springier than the off-white Cashmere that you'd find on, say, the Yaqi Dandelion. They are different.This might sound stupid but

Yaqi/AP Shave fibres appear to be manufactured by Cormay, based in China...I had a "Snow White" Cashmere knot (from DS Cosmetics) and it was a lot springier than the off-white Cashmere that you'd find on, say, the Yaqi Dandelion. They are different.
But, given the vast majority of fibre will be made at the same factory in China, it's safe (enough) to say that most knots of a certain designation (like Cashmere or Tuxedo) will be the same ... irrespective of vendor.
That is first class information, thank you.Yaqi/AP Shave fibres appear to be manufactured by Cormay, based in China...
