Simpson Emperor 1 or 2?
The Merkur 34C is a classic. It's all you really need. As for your blades, you have a good selection. Of the ones you have I like the Astras,...
It sounds like you're getting there. I think the Simpson synthetics are very good brushes and a terrific value but try the others. I also like...
Feathers are super sharp and an excellent blade. I find them maybe a little aggressive for the first shave with a new Feather but that seems to...
Ah, 1967. I’m a bit older than you. My birthyear/quarter would be a V-4. Not many of those around. :( I’ve never really gotten into the...
Your G 4 Slim is a beauty! I have an N2 (but I prefer using my D4 Fatboy)... [img] I also had a J2 - 1964 - that I gave to a friend. That was...
To me at least, having a brush with a 29mm knot is like having a Ford F450 as a daily driver! A nice conversation piece but not really that...
When you get them, and after you've used them, let us know what you think.
$350 is a lot of money for a brush, unless you really know what you want. In your position I'd probably buy... A Yaqui Silvertip 24mm for $49 -...

I have a bunch of razors, but for me the elegant simplicity of the first Super Speeds takes some beating. They're not fancy, just simple,...
Do you have any calipers, digital or otherwise? If so, just measure it.
I've been wet shaving for just about all of my adult life - I'm 71 now. I've probably tried about 20 or so blades, used Wilkinson Sword for many...
Ah, that would explain it. Thanks for the info.
And yet my standard Fatboy is a D4/1958? [IMG]
I guess they thought that if electric toothbrushes were selling then an electric shaving brush would sell too? I think I'd take a pass on that...
I agree about the Berkeley. It’s a terrific medium/small brush at a decent price for a handmade Simpson. Mine is going strong after over 3 years...
http://store.mensroombarbershop.com/simpsons-brush-travel-case-small/ Maggard's has them too (in 3 sizes)......
Yes, that Simpson small tube fits the Duke 1, Classic 1, Case 1 and Special, and of course the T1, and some others. The 46 is a pretty good fit...
I recently bought a Simpson Trafalgar T1, the smallest of the three relatively new Simpson brushes, and I noticed that it was similarly sized to...
