I used mine for the first time the other day. It is such a cute brush and I am proud to say I now own a Simpson. However it is so small I will mostly use it as a travel brush.
Just a Wee pic (of my Scott and his big brother Samson)!

I should also add, hand lathering won't give you hairy palms...
Sorry to have to use your post as an example, but it's a good one .The Wee cranked out some fantastic lather, and I had some left over after my routine 3-pass shave with touch ups.
I read many posts about the WS producing enough lather for 3, 4, 5+ passes "with leftover for touchups". Most of these posts don't say where they created the lather. If you bowl lather, any brush will produce as much soap as you choose to fill the bowl with. Any brush.
Why would I change my methods and my perfectly adequate hardware to try and accommodate something that in my eyes has some fairly significant limitations. The Wee Scot is a very interesting object to discuss because even with its high praise among its legions of fans, that praise more often than not comes with some sort of qualifying statement.Sounds to me like you make a good case for bowl lathering over face lathering.
I am in no way bashing the Wee Scot. I just think there are others out there that can do what it does a little better. Many, many are owned, but after the honeymoon most seem to live on the back burner for any number of personal reasons.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. The only time I used most was when I said that most Wee Scots purchased are soon relegated to the back burner. From reading tens of thousands of posts on B&B (most not about the Wee Scot, but that underlines my point), I truly believe that most Wee Scots owned are well liked, but spend almost all their time helping hold the shelf down.I understand your sentiment, but I doubt that "most" who own them feel this way.
