Description
Simpson Special 1 Sovereign Grade Synthetic Fibre Shaving Brush, 18mm
Scotsman Alexander Simpson started production of shaving brushes and male grooming ancillaries in 1919 and is widely regarded as a pioneer in the industry. Manufacturing was originally based in the East end of London but later in Clapham. In 1941, following the loss of his factory during the World War II German Luftwaffe blitz, production was moved to the West Country at the famous Nimmer Mill.
Today Simpson shaving brushes and associated products are manufactured by Progress Shaving Brush (Vulfix) Limited on the historic Isle of Man. They continue to be produced in the traditional way using hand tied knots by time served, skilled workers.
The Special 1 is a superb smaller sized shaving brush. Offered here in a beautifully finished faux Ivory handle and filled with our uniquely sourced Sovereign Grade synthetic fibre.
