TSR Simpson synthetic sample brush is ready to go (please see pictures).
Do we have a responsible soul who can co-ordinate a list of participants & schedule the brush journey?
Our American cousins have taken this subject matter quite seriously as you will see from their 'rules of engagement' below:
Simpson's Synthetic Brush Pass-Around
Thank you to all members who expressed interest in the Simpson's Synthetic Brush Pass-Around! The participants have been selected and the pass-around will start soon.
The lists of persons in this round of testing includes the first five members within each test region who responded to the original test thread. The criteria calls for members who have at least 200 posts on the ShaveNook and who've been members for at least two months. The test groups were chosen to fit within three geographical areas of the U.S. Coordinators were named for each region.
