SIMPSONS TRAFALGAR T2 SYNTHETIC HAIR SHAVING BADGER

Trafalgar T2 synthetic fiber shaving brush – Simpsons. A badger to shave every day.

Scotsman Alexander Simpson began producing shaving brushes and grooming accessories for men 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 its factory in the German Luftwaffe blitz during World War II, production was moved to the West Country at the famous Nimmer Mill. Today Simpson Shaving Brushes and related 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 skilled workers.

The Trafalgar is the latest offering in our new range from Alexander Simpson East . 1919. This beautifully crafted, eye-catching turned handle is filled with our single-sourced sovereign grade synthetic fiber.

br>With regard to the use and ongoing care of your new Simpson Shaving Brush, we recommend the following procedures:

When shaving, try to use back and forth strokes of the brush for lathering rather than circular “mashing” strokes which tend to put extra pressure on the bristles. Excessive force can break or dislodge the bristles from their glue. Never let your brush soak in water hotter than your skin can handle.

Make sure the knot of the shaving brush is thoroughly rinsed and free of ALL soap or post-shave cream residue - Use clear, lukewarm water and gently squeeze the base of the knot to determine if all remains are gone (this will prevent mold buildup).
Gently shake the brush and rub the bristles lightly against a very soft towel to remove any excess moisture from the knot.
Let sit or hang (either is perfectly fine) in a well-ventilated area , preferably very close to an open window. Insufficient drying time between shaves WILL LEAD to mold deep in the knot and possible hair loss.
Try alternating between two brushes if possible to allow for a 48 hour drying period.
Shampoo your brush with a normal hair product every month or so to keep it nice and clean.
