FS: Simpson polo 8 super *withdrawn*
FS: Simpson polo 8 super *withdrawn*
Hello gents. Here we have a Simpson polo 8 in super badger. I bought this brush at the end of November. I used it for a week and decided that It wasn't for me and I stopped using it. The brush has only seen a week's worth of use. It's a great brush, but I just don't care for the handle. The brush has a short loft, is dense with nice soft tips. Great brush for hard shaving soaps. withdrawn

Matt, out of curiosity what is it about the 8 that you didnt like? I for one thought that it was an incredible brush...not too much backbone, but not 'floppy' either and it certainly isnt a lather hogger. I bought the best and the super. What got me was the handle....i just didnt like it that much and so i got two more, but this time in vulfix 22 series handles.....MUCH better!!!

For me, it was the combination us such a large handle with a comparatively small knot. It just "felt" out of balance to me. I actually wish the loft was taller. I'm sure it's something I could get used to though, it is a very nice brush.

Exactly.....totally out of proportion! Mr simpson should be drawn and quartered for such imbalance! HAHA
