Simpsons Major Best Badger Shaving Brush

Product

Originally designed for the Himalayan explorer Major Victor Beeching, the Simpsons Major Best Badger Hair Shaving Brush is a luxury travel format shaving brush, allowing you to be away from home with no compromise on your shaving! Densely filled with Simpson's highly regarded Best Badger Hair, this is a firm yet soft brush, with fabulous water retention to ensure a luxurious lather whether used in conjunction with soaps or creams. The handle is lathe turned pure resin with a 'faux ivory' finish reminiscent of the most traditional of shaving brushes. The threading, mid-point on the handle, allows the brush to be screwed into an open-ended tube which not only provides protection but allows the all-important airing of the loft. The Major is a simple but ingenious work of art as a shaving brush and the perfect travel companion for any business or leisure trip. Simpsons have been manufacturing handmade shaving brushes in England since 1919, they fully deserve their reputation as the world's premier shaving brush manufacturers.

All Simpsons Brushes are Hand Made in Isle of Man, British Isles.

How to use

The brush bristles should be wet (not soaking) before use. Load the loft with soap or cream and apply to the areas to be shaved, using a strong circular motion. This softens the hairs and also raises them ready for shaving.

We strongly recommend the following aftercare for your brush; When finished always rinse the brush under hot water (especially at the base of the bristles) to remove any remaining soap residue which can result in damage to the bristle and cause early shedding of the loft. The brush should then be stored loft facing down to dry. This can be achieved by using a shaving brush stand and prevents the bristles rotting at the base due to moisture.

Recommended for

Both shaving creams and shaving soaps and all skin types.

Grooming tip

If you prefer the feel of a more 'substantial' handle when you shave, the brush can be screwed back into the cylinder the opposite way!

Simpsons

Simpson's, or rather Alexander Simpson to begin with, started making shaving brushes in the East End of London in 1919, building up a reputation for quality shaving brushes over the next 30 years. Now owned by Progress Vulfix - also stocked at MAGUIRE'S Barbershop, the tradition of making some of the world's finest brushes entirely by hand, continues.
