Simpson Brushes Appreciation Thread

[p.b]

I wonder of Simpson is still doing own knotts?

What do you mean ‘going their own knots?’
Importing hair from China is not the same as importing a ready made knot.

My question was if Knots are made in UK.

Know Badger Hair Ranching is big in CHINA.

What makes a Simpson shaving brush truly unique?...

I’ve extracted Super badger and original Platinum synthetic fibre knots and they are hand-tied. I don’t know about the Sovereign knots though.

Where did you get them all in such NOS condition? Really great looking brushes from the past.

They come up sometimes, and I keep my eyes peeled!

here is the Manchurian in bloom next to a Duke 2.

I actually used a BASIN to whip up a large amount of lather without using more than a standard amount of croap. Amazing.

Thought I'd add another small brush to my collection.

55 next to Berkeley, case, cl1 and duke 1.

I must say that I prefer the plain ivory handles and the occasional black or briar resin one. Not fussed with butterscotch or jade and I do not like the kaleidoscopic coloured editions at all. Too flashy by half.
