Hello Gents, I hope you all well!! I'm looking to buy my first Simpson shaving brush and I will love to hear your thoughts!! I do face lathering exclusively and my 3 option are Simpson duke 3, colonel or Simpson 57.??? Thank you so much in advance!!
I've got 5 in my herd, 2 old Somerset production, and 3 Isle of Man. I've had at least that many more that I sold along the way. Never a shedder among them. I have heard, years ago, of a period during the Somerset years, when there were some shedding problems, but that was attributed to a new employee, and was sorted out shortly thereafter. That is AFAIK. Good luck with the hunt.All the comments about Simpson's shedding problems I have heard make me think twice to purchase one
I'll second that thought. I tried three Colonels over the course of a year. I used the credit from the Simpson toward a Semogue Owners Club badger. The SOC hasn't shed one hair.With two consecutive best badger Duke 3's shedding, I am less enthusiastic. My best advice - but from a reputable and accessible dealer in case a return is required!
