It would certainly be worth having a word with Trumper's, the site describes them as Chubby's. That is deliberate form of Passing Off, it's more than cheeky.

I've never seen a Progress Vulfix brush with a "Tramp Stamp" so I just didn't think they'd made them, Jim with respect you could or should have trademarked the "Chubby style" when you had the chance and it was distinctive.

Dipesh said:I see. I was quite missled seeing those names and handle shapes. I thought straight away, are those vulfix/simpsons made?
I wouldn't be too pleased at them using exact name.
Fido said:The first brushes are the same shape as the Vulfix 2234 for a start:

They have just etched two rings instead of one below the middle to create the GFT lookalike.
As for the Chubby:

The GFT version has the same shape as this, but an etched ring just above the middle.
I wanted a short fat handle for my Tubby brushes but at least my more angular right angle shape showed I respected the original Chubby shape well enough not to attempt an obvious copy.
I don't think many forum shaving enthusiasts will be buying the GFT brushes at their prices. On second thoughts........ There may be a gullible few?
