They aren't the only ones who sell Simpsons brushes in disguise...
In fact, the same store that sells disguised Simpsons also sells disguised brushes by a very esteemed brush maker (who has made several of
@alfredus ' best brushes). Just saying there's some very good deals out there...
Now you have my attention as well! Cause as far as I know I have only 2 couples by the same company:
2 Vie-Long Epsilons - one in horse and one in Badger - and I regard them both already as dirt cheap and would be really surprised if you could get them even cheaper...
2 Paladins: now that would be of real interested, were you could actually get them, forget the cheaper price tag...the way I understand it, they will not be offered with a Sabini knot again...
Besides that: I still haven't made up my mind, which of my brushes I regard as the best - so please tell me what I don't know yet


Seriously
@filobiblic please PM me that info as well...
Back on topic: you can get a variety of Simpson brushes for a very good deal:

You get a 8% discount with this code: BB101
And you get an additional 10% off according to this post - sorry for linking to YKW - but if it is about saving money, so I hope it's OK:

So a Duke 3 is ~96US$ shipped to Australia - 135AU$ - not bad these days - makes met think if I need one myself
The Duke 2 is ~85US$ (no addition 10% as it is under 100US$) ~118AU$
Please note, that I have only bought Blades from him, so maybe somebody else wants to chime in about this vendor? I believe he is in Singapore?
Another option: go through the hell of ordering a Romera brush. Takes months apparently, but some say it's worth it? a 24mm Manchurian Finest is ~80-90 EUR + shipping which is around your 150AU$ range - maybe
@Lifes a Peach can chime in?
