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

Which Simpson shaving brush should I choose first?

The Duke, Classic and Special are sensible starting points. Choose the Chubby if you want a denser brush, or the Trafalgar if you prefer synthetic fibre.

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.
