The Simpson Thread

Different strokes for different folks. I'm just partial to Simpson because they have a certain appeal to me that I don't find with any other brush, except possibly a Vulfix or an EJ.

 

I have quite a Simpson collection. I am partial to their older brushes. I understand the attraction.

 

i like them.they offer a bit of old school England,with some affordable options as well.

 

So many variations of classic, understated, designs.

 

Simpson Best is a great knot and offered in many sizes/brushes so you could get another Simpson or even look into what Shavemac offers, which I find-in my sample one one- to be great as well.

 

I'm planning to buy 3 more Simpsons (a keyhole, a milk churn and a major) and call it good at 21. (unless I decide to try a Chubby 2 in Super or Manchurian).

 

A milk churn Simpson brush sounds good. Ivory or butterscotch, or other? I have a Duke 2 on my radar.

 

Ivory. I highly recommend the Duke 2 it's a stout little brush that is awesome for face lathering.

 

Liked the Polo 10 (best) so much that I pulled the trigger on a Polo 12 in best. Didn't hurt that I got it at 30% ($65) off here.

The MC is one of my favorite handles. One of my pal's favorite too, right @jtspartan

 

When I said I understand the attraction to Simpson brushes, I was serious.

 

fine collection Joseph

 

Thanks, Gary. I've let some beauties go, and immediately got seller's remorse. Oh well. I think they went to good homes.

 

they made room for more.

 

It's a revolving door.

 

i must admit,while i've not afforded to drop $200+ in one go on a brush ,the best badger simpsons i paid $60 -85 for are excellent.they put one in a different place is the best way to describe them.especially when the rest of the set up is old school English.even if i did get a windfall,i would buy a chubby 2 in best i think.

 

Absolutely. I turned an homage to the Milk Churn because I admired Joseph’s so much:

 

Here's a Simpson Tulip T2



It needed a major repair and was re-knotted with a 20mm Envy knot.

 

I did a thing. I put a Simpson decal sticker on my Wee Scot!
