Thanks Gary, you could still throw one into the box with my order, you know, hint, hint, nudge, nudge.

Cella? PUHLEASE
You could scrub a dead rat's head on a tub of Cella and get good lather.
Who amongst you will test this with Caswell Massey 1752?
When you try this, PLEASE post the photos. They'd likely win the Photo of the Year Award!
I was thinking that my next brush would be the Wee Scott and then the Chubby 2. Now I see several posts referencing a photo of a new Gary Young LE. Where is it? I looked on the Simpson page and didn't see anything relating to that.
the proposed price is quite a price
I picked the right week to travel as it has given me a great opportunity to take a good look at this brush. Typically, I will break it out once or twice a week but get more use out of a couple of my other brushes. I use both a Simpson Eagle in Best and a Semogue Owner's club boar more often. Prior to this recent trip, I did use the Wee Scot with TOBS Sandalwood shave cream which I bowl lathered. As I use soap almost exclusively and face lather, this was a big departure from my usual routine. I was delighted with the quality of the lather that I obtained. The Wee Scot gave me plenty of lather of such a quality that I may have to go with shaving cream more often. Since then, I have face lathered daily with the Wee Scot and a Speick shave stick. This is was this brush was made to do and it shines in this role. I get great quality lather with plenty enough for my usual three passes. The brush fits perfectly in one of a pair of gold plated containers from a Gillette travel kit that I found at a flea market last year. For whatever reason, I really enjoy the way the shave stick and brush look in this set-up, especially when sitting in my dopp kit next to a cased Tuckaway. The small size makes ip portable and convenient and allows it to dry quickly, making it great to travel with. While I can understand someone with arthritis finding it difficult, I've never had a problem with the brush size and find it comfortable to use. While I have expensive brushes (not to mention fragrances, soaps, creams and razors) that almost never get used, the Wee Scot isn't one of them. Like most of the members here, I don't see it being anyone's only brush and although I find it one of my favorites, I would never recommend it as the starting brush for someone being introduced to wet shaving. That said, it certainly succeeds at filling the niche it was designed for. If anyone is looking for a brush for when they travel, I don't see another that better meets the combination of portability, performance and quality. And for many,myself included, the brush performs so well that you will find yourself reaching for it even when staying home. Don't let the diminutive size fool you, the Wee Scot is definitely no toy.
This diminutive brush was created for the purpose of shaving EAR HAIR.
