Omega Evo vs Simpson Trafalgar T3 - Battle of Synthetic Brushes with Good Backbone 

"the clear winner on budget is Simpson" - I never thought I'd hear anyone utter that sentence regarding Simpson synthetics.

Nice discussion. Thanks for the comparisons.

Great comparison video Chris, it took me back the same as everyone else 😁👏

Thanks for the comparison! Helpful to see 😎👍

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.

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 🤩

Interesting comparison. Thank you, Chris. 💈👍🏻

Great comparison thank you 👊🏾

Great review

Great comparison. I love Simpson brushes, so I may have to invest in a T3 down the road. Take care Chris! 🤠

Thnx Chris 👍

Great comparison video Chris 2 great brushes. Have a great evening. Very best regards Gordon.😃👍

Amazing video Chris, I hope you’re doing well.

Thank you CDB for the video! I alredy have omega evo and i waiting the mail from england for trafalgar.

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.

I think my t3 is a cracking brush. Soft tips is lovley for painting. When splayed, sooo good scrubb!

I literally have this same video on deck coming soon myself!

Great video 💐🌺

I just bought a T3!

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!!

Nice brushes. Looks like either choice would be a winner.

Awesome Comparison My Friend 😀👍👍Thank You For Your Great Videos Very Much Appreciated.

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

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.

I have 2 Evo's. Fantastic brushes

Been on the fence about the Evo Veteran brush.

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. ;-)

I recently bought an Omega Roma shaving brush from amazon...For about 30 $ ..So wonderful shaving brush to use...

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Expensive or inexpensive it's just hard to beat synthetic brushes. Great performance and low maintenance. Good video Chris.

Do you think the EVO mimics boar or badger? How does it compare to badger when it comes to water and heat retention?

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 got the t3 and love it.

Simpson T3..... Price and performance at the highest

What would you say is better / softer for sensitive skin?

Try the Stirling Kong....

if you compare this two to Muhle silvertip fibre, which one would you prefer ?

How about the Stirling 26mm Pro?

Who would have thought Simpson would make the budget buy?

Busta flashback 👍👍 Stay Safe and Shave On .........................💦💦💦🦑🦑🦑

wait.... no naked armor brush? LOL I kid... did you ever hear any feed back from them after your review?

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.

Busta style 2 brushes :)

The knots and handles would match better if they were switched.

I got the omega

I think boar bristles is more environment friendly.

So what's your favorite brush?

Busta flashback !!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!

First. On to the watching now.

Simpson T3 Trafalgar my handle cracked to repair it i used B7000 Glue to repair the handle the glue is waterproof wheelchair Larry
