About Simpsons Shaving Brushes
Simpson Shaving Brushes
Simpson shaving brushes include classic Simpsons badger brush models, Simpson synthetic brush models such as Sovereign, and Alexander Simpson brushes. The best choice depends on fibre type, knot size, handle shape and how much backbone you want when building lather.
Badger Grades and Synthetic Fibre
Simpson Pure Badger gives a firmer traditional feel, Best Badger is the balanced daily grade for many wet shavers, and Super/Silvertip Badger is the softer premium natural-hair option. Trafalgar, Sovereign and Platinum synthetic brushes use synthetic fibre, dry quickly and need no break-in period.
Key Simpson Models
The Simpson Duke, Classic, Special and Colonel X2L are practical daily-use badger brushes. The Chubby is denser and fuller, while the Trafalgar is a straightforward synthetic choice.
Complete the Setup
Pair a Simpson brush with a suitable shaving soap, shaving cream or shaving bowl. For drying and storage, check compatibility before choosing a Simpson drip stand or travel tube.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Simpson Pure, Best and Super Badger?
Pure is usually firmer, Best balances softness and backbone, and Super/Silvertip Badger is the softer premium natural-hair grade. Knot size and density also affect the feel.
Are Simpson synthetic brushes good for daily shaving?
Yes. A Simpson synthetic brush such as Trafalgar or Sovereign dries quickly, feels consistent from the first use and is easy to maintain. They are practical for travel and daily shaving.
Do Simpson badger brushes need breaking in?
They normally need very little break-in compared with boar brushes. A natural badger brush may settle with use, but it should be ready to lather from the first shave.
Let customers speak for us
from 457 reviewsGreat small case to hold a 34C and a few blades . Brought it to protect my limited edition leather case from 1896 inox set .
Love my 34c and decide I needed the metallic grey option in my collection. Product is perfect and the service was great keeping me informed of delivery.
Absolutely stunning razor in titanium. I chose the mild plate and it gives a wonderfully smooth shave.
Great travel razor , slightly more aggressive than Merkur 933 , also case is larger but does seem like a better quality case than the Merkur .
This razor is designed for travel, but I've added it to my daily rotation.
This is because, in addition to a level of craftsmanship that makes you want to gaze at it every day, it delivers the superb shaving performance you expect.
Although it is not a designated stand for this razor, the 4011 Stand fit perfectly.
Great customer service. The brush I initially selected wasn’t available and the team helped me to choose a perfect replacement and ensured I received it on time. Very good customer service and great selection of high end shaving products. Great place for finding gifts for men.
The best DE razor I've owned. Smooth, and adjustable from very mild upward I don't experience razor burn or nicks with this one. Excellent quick delivery too.
Outstanding brush and customer service.
These blades have become my favourite quickly. They are much smoother than feather blades. They retain their sharpness for a long time while remaining very gentle to the skin.
Snapped post on cap , ordered this and a new top plate with the retaining clips and returned razor to new ! It will serve me for many more years .
Love this razor. Adjustability is very straight forward and a useful feature
This is the first time I have used a safety razor and this is amazing, far better than the cartridge razors I'm used to
Great company with a wide range of products at good prices. Quick delivery too.
Highly recommended.
If wet shaving has a lie detector, it’s the Osma Laboratories Pierre d’Alun.
