Simpson Brushes Appreciation Thread

You're right Nishy, it's exactly where it comes from.
I've received it in late September.
It's a lathering machine, I love it
But I also love bigger knots
The Delta has a similar handle

Stumbled across this...

A.Simpson 1934 by James Buckmaster, on Flickr

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or was A.Simpson selling 2 band brushes in 1934? I thought they were a relatively modern thing?

What a nice picture. When the brand really was great.

Can you imagine the feeling if each one of us could just have now/today, NOS, one of these brushes contained in that display window?

Or even a chat with someone from the original family. Alexander was certainly a very talented man.

Interestingly there is reference to the Bajer brand and also Macaulay, the 'M'of the M7 and the like.

I won this Simpson vintage horn recently from eBay. I have never seen another one like it and also it has a yellow sticker which I believe is pretty rare too. I believe the 64 is the year it was made.

Awesome find! Looks to be Horn with a great pattern.

Thanks. Yes it is, just given it a couple of palm lathers! Feels great so far.

Was it on Facebook or Twitter or something?

Haven't seen many 2 band Silvertip from them lately. Not one that big especially.

I would love a Polo 8 or 10 in the two band silvertip.

I saw one they had put on Twitter, so I emailed them and he had one i could buy.

Ironically I had emailed them a little while ago to ask if they had any chubby 2 in silvertip and they said no, and that they had no plans to make any???

Looks like you have to keep an eye on Twitter, and then be quick!

Chubby 2 & Classic 1... Both in "synthetic bristle", one for home and the other for travel.

I have a Polo8 in 2-band silvertip, but I'm not about to part with it anytime soon, if ever. Sorry, but the devil made me write this.

I saw Simpsons has the Simfix Grosvenor available again.

I bought one last year. Absolutely love it!
