Alexander Simpson Trafalgar Synthetic Fibre Shaving Brush Range

The Alexander Simpson Trafalgar is a Sovereign synthetic-fibre shaving brush offered in three sizes. T1, T2 and T3 describe the brush dimensions, not different badger-hair grades. All three are synthetic, so choose between them by the amount of brush you want in your hand and against your face.

Choose T1 for the most compact format: its approximate overall height is 82mm, with a 40mm handle and 23mm knot. T2 gives a taller 46mm handle with a slightly wider 24mm knot. T3 is the largest, with a 50mm handle, 26mm knot and 100mm overall height. These are size choices, not a promise that the largest brush will give everyone a better shave.

If you prefer a shorter brush that takes up less room, start your comparison with T1. If more handle length matters, compare T2 and T3 before deciding. The measurements below separate the handle from the loft, which is the exposed fibre above it; this is more useful than comparing overall height alone.
