"the clear winner on budget is Simpson" - I never thought I'd hear anyone utter that sentence regarding Simpson synthetics.
Hahahaha! Isn't that the truth?
The trafalgar synth is looking like a real good buy right now. I enjoyed the side by side moments in the comparison that was impressive 🤩
It’s really not a bad buy for the money. The Evo has a nicer selection of handles but both are very similar when it comes to the knots.
I literally have this same video on deck coming soon myself!
I made this one about a week and a half ago and I’m just now airing it. I’ll be interested to see if you have the same findings.
I just bought a T3!
I hope you enjoy it. I really like it.
I think my t3 is a cracking brush. Soft tips is lovley for painting. When splayed, sooo good scrubb!
I’m glad you like the brush Frank. Both of these brushes have good backbone but are soft at the same time. If you ever want another one the Evo is a good choice.
This is a great side by side comparison video. Nice job and thank you. I just bought the simpson and it arrives tomorrow. So I’m searched reviews and came across your video.
I hope you enjoy the brush sir. It’s a very good brush indeed. Use it in good health sir.
The Trafalgar T-3 is the best synth I’ve ever used. The only one I’ve used with backbone and soft tips. I won’t be shelling out nearly twice as much for the Evo.
I think they are similar enough that no one needs to shell out the money for the more expensive one if they don’t want to. I prefer the handle offerings of the Evo but both brushes are very good IMO.
doesn't the brush lettering fade over time?
@@jhonnycastro383 hasn’t yet. Thanks for watching
Great comparison. I love Simpson brushes, so I may have to invest in a T3 down the road.
Take care Chris! 🤠
It’s not a bad brush for the money. If you’re looking for a synthetic with backbone it’s a good choice.
I recently bought an Omega Roma shaving brush from amazon...For about 30 $ ..So wonderful shaving brush to use...
Hi Chris, greetings from Argentina! I have the T2 (it is slightly smaller with a 22 mm knot) and I'm really enjoying it. It will be a perfect travel brush.
Nice Mariano. I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying it. I think it’s a really good value if you’re looking for a synthetic with backbone.
Great comparison video Chris 2 great brushes. Have a great evening.
Very best regards Gordon.😃👍
Thanks Gordon, much appreciated.
I have 2 Evo's. Fantastic brushes
I agree, really nice brushes.
Nice discussion. Thanks for the comparisons.
Thanks as always Red.
Interesting comparison. Thank you, Chris. 💈👍🏻
Thanks very much for watching Patrick.
Great brush video.
Not Quite what I was hoping for in a brush video but I was not very specific.
We would love to see a top CDB favorite bush video soon.
Lol
Have a safe and blessed week.
I will send another annoying reminder next week. ;-)
Haha, yes, that’s coming Mike. I’m on a list for WW and when I get that brush I’ll make the list.
@@IAMCDB I can't wait!
That will be awesome
Great comparison video Chris, it took me back the same as everyone else 😁👏
Thanks Dave!
Nice brushes. Looks like either choice would be a winner.
They are both pretty darned good. Both are excellent choices if you’re looking for a synthetic with backbone.
Awesome - just ordered the Trafalgar T3 for $29 shipped. Unfortunately it's USPS so it may get here weeks from now, with the way things are going.
It's a really nice brush for the price. It's a very good value.
Thanks for the comparison! Helpful to see 😎👍
My pleasure Tim, I hope you have a great day.
Amazing video Chris, I hope you’re doing well.
Thanks Sam, I appreciate it. I hope you have a great day as well.
Likewise
Thnx Chris 👍
Chris I hope you are enjoying your vacation, and wanted to thank you for the video. When you flipped them over, I thought I could see the handle through the Knot on the Simpson which would make the Omega a bit more dense, that being said they are both excellent brushes, and the Omega does bring multiple handle options. Now, are they worth almost 40 bucks more, well I think that is for each buyer to decide. I myself tend to stay below the 30 dollar mark for non custom synthetic brushes. Great video!!
Thanks Daniel. I think both are really good if you’re looking for synthetics with backbone. I prefer the Evo due to the handle options but both are quite good.
Thank you CDB for the video! I alredy have omega evo and i waiting the mail from england for trafalgar.
Thanks Radu. If you like the Evo I think you’ll like the Trafalgar as well.
I think that Simpson's brush is a real bargain, and has great build quality. A real weighty hand-turned handle and a dense knot that doesn't shed a single hair.
Has maybe too much backbone for me, I have a beard so i only shave my neck and applying the required pressure to splay it is a little uncomfortable on the neck.
I agree, it’s a pretty good value. It does have a fair amount of backbone so it’s certainly not a great option for folks looking to avoid it.
Great comparison thank you 👊🏾
Thanks very much sir.
The best Shave Brush on the market today is my Simpson Trafalgar's T-3, better then boar cheaper in the long run, it is 29mm. i mic-ed it' it's like buying a $443.99 Simpson 30mm Chubby 3 Super CH3S Badger Shaving Brush, no cleaning the brush, no need for a brush stand, NO SOAKING time ready to go, fast drying time, . will not fall apart like a Badger or boar hair can and it will fall apart at some point in time, no brake in time, affordable to buy, I have owned it for 5 Years with no hair loss with no problems. I own only One Shave Brush wheelchair Larry Happy New Years
Great review
Thank you!
Chris! Enjoyed the video! I still have my Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic and most recently I got JR Reyes to put in a Timberwolf knot. Love it!
Did you have JR put the Timberwolf in the chubby handle?
@@IAMCDB Yes! JR is the man!!!
@@mellymelshaves I’m sure that made for a better brush. The original chubby 2 synth knots weren’t very good IMO.
@@IAMCDB Yes! It made a huge difference!
Haha you just cancelled a sale on the Omega Evo😜 I will stick with my Trafalgar, I am dead in love with the handle... It reminds me of a chess piece or something. I was going to get the veteran edition but I can live without it I have “too many” according to the Mrs. Commander😆
I'm glad I saved you a few bucks. If you don't need another brush you're not really missing out.
Expensive or inexpensive it's just hard to beat synthetic brushes. Great performance and low maintenance. Good video Chris.
I agree Ken. Synthetics are hard to beat when it comes to ease of use and durability.
Been debating whether to get the trafalgar or not, I have a chubby 2 and 2 duke 3 synthetics which I find to be very good but when it comes to simpson badger is what they do best. I'd pick my chubby 2 in best and chubby 3 in manchurian over any synthetic knot.
I’d say if you have newer knots in those models you’re probably good to go.
Do you think the EVO mimics boar or badger? How does it compare to badger when it comes to water and heat retention?
I don't think any synthetic mimics badger or boar and I don't think it should. Synthetics are completely their own thing and it should stay that way. Each type of hair has their merits.
Been on the fence about the Evo Veteran brush.
Simpson T3..... Price and performance at the highest
That's a good one for sure:)
Awesome Comparison My Friend 😀👍👍Thank You For Your Great Videos Very Much Appreciated.
Thanks so much Marcos, I appreciate it.
Great comparison Chris. Never thought I'd hear a Simpson is Cheaper than an Omega.
Have you used the PAA Starcraft brush? I feel it has a lot of backbone and wonder how it compares to these two.
Whooda thunk it? I've never tried the starcraft myself so I cannot stay.
So it's just the handle? No difference as for performance wise - heat and water retention? I'm considering between these two plus Omega Roma(which looks even closer to the Trafalger).
I can't really speak to heat or water retention. They perform very similarly though IMO.
Busta style 2 brushes :)
Hahaha, indeed!
Who would have thought Simpson would make the budget buy?
No one would have ever thought this:)
The knots and handles would match better if they were switched.
You could be right on that sir.
Hey man,
I didn't know bout this video!
I am pondering on this Evo. Just curious does this have the issue of water draining out at the base of the knot? I only have two synths the AP shave co, I got from you and I have a Stirling synth, and it looses water at the base of the knot, (even while adding water into the bowl) but the AP shave co does not.
I don't use them much so I cannot recall. I think the Trafalgar is a much better value though.
Great video 💐🌺
Thanks very much sir.
What would you say is better / softer for sensitive skin?
Probably the T3 but they are pretty close.
I got the omega
Nice! How do you like it?
Does England have so many badgers to fill the Simpson brushes? We suspect the hairs are Chinese. We suspect that by buying a simson I am paying for the seaweed for silk ribbons.
I think almost all badger hair comes from china.
Busta flashback 👍👍 Stay Safe and Shave On .........................💦💦💦🦑🦑🦑
Hahaha, the double lather definitely reminds me of Busta:)
I think boar bristles is more environment friendly.
Could be, I don’t know how they are harvested though.
wait.... no naked armor brush? LOL I kid... did you ever hear any feed back from them after your review?
Haha. I did not. I hope they’ll consider improving the product.
So what's your favorite brush?
Now it would be my APShaveco handcrafted series brushes for the most part.
@@IAMCDB As I read this I have their page up on another tab. I think ill get one of those as well.
@@mike212916 I have a quite a few of them and have enjoyed them a lot.
if you compare this two to Muhle silvertip fibre, which one would you prefer ?
I don't have the Muhle Silvertip anymore but based on what I recall I think I prefer these.
@@IAMCDB alright what about in general which synthetic brush would you say is your all time favorite and do you prefer synthetic over badger?
@@Basilahi My favorite feeling knots are the APShaveco Synbad or Cashmere knots but they are very soft. Some won't like these knots as they don't feel like they have a ton of backbone. I do prefer synthetic to badger. If you prefer more backbone the brushes in this video are probably better options.
@@IAMCDB what about the chubby 2 synthetic?
@@JoseGutierrez-dg2lk I had the initial runs of the Chubby 2 synthetics years ago and they were terrible. I don't know if they've changed since I had one. (which was probably 5-7 years ago)
How about the Stirling 26mm Pro?
I haven't used that particular one I don't think.
@@IAMCDB OK... There's a lot of talk about it on eg FB and Fora. I have it and the T3. It is kind of like the T3 in the bristles but higher knot loft and larger handle... Maybe You'll like it with the larger handle.
@@SIGSOLO Nice, I might have to check that out. Thanks.
Busta flashback !!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!
That’s true, I forgot about that:)
Simpson T3 Trafalgar my handle cracked to repair it i used B7000 Glue to repair the handle the glue is waterproof wheelchair Larry
Try the Stirling Kong....
I got the t3 and love it.
Excellent, so glad you’re enjoying it sir.
Yaqi brushes are best
I'm so glad you like them sir.
Yaqi was the first brush I ever bought….from WCS for $25….over a year ago. Been working great….think I’ll just keep using it. It has good backbone….splays well…lathers good…and hasn’t deformed or lost bristles. The T3 is interesting though.
Dual wielding brushes lol
Haha, indeed:)
First. On to the watching now.
Thanks Antonio:)
