Simpsons 90th Anniversary Brush (Astor) Discussion Thread

[texbilly]

Okay, this accounts for 10 of them. With the amount of SBAD we have on B&B, I believe we can do better than that!

Yep, it's only a matter of time. Ken, have you given your new Astor a spin?

How many Simpson Anniversary Astors are in the hands of traditional wetshavers worldwide who have never heard of shaving forums? My guess is less than a half dozen. This gives me plenty of time to cave and pick one up perhaps. When will the first one show up on a BST? Hmmmmm.

Mike, knowing that you and many others are just waiting to pounce on the inevitable B/S/T offering is what provided me the final impetus (or is that "rationale" ?) to purchase a new brush, rather than waiting in line!

Yep, it's only a matter of time. Ken, have you given your new Astor a spin?

Bill, this morning was a WONDERFUL experience. I broke out the Penhaligon's English Fern (tallow) soap, whipped up a great lather with the Astor, then used my Cobra Classic to achieve BBS !

I saw no evidence of shedding, and the Astor is just stiff enough to do a great job with shaving soap; but not so stiff that it would massacre a cream!

The only way I could imagine a better experience is if I had been using one of those beautiful new Pils DE razors. But that's on down the road .....

You go, Ken!

It does a great job with D.R. Harris Arlington, too. I think mine has stopped shedding, or at least it hasn't shed since Monday AM.

So when it is all said and done.. What do you think the proportions of Astors in Texas will be versus the rest of the world? heh. Right now we are almost at half. I almost feel like I should do my part and buy one.
