Of all of my Simpsons this is no doubt the best deal. I love small brushes for facelathering and this meets my standards very well. Enough backbone and density, great flow-through, creates lather very easily and feels great on the face.
The knot stays compact during the shave (not too much bloom) making it a very precise little brush. The density is less than with a Berkeley or Classic but because the shape of the knot stays together the backbone is almost as firm.
The handle fits the hand very well; it is a good thing that Simpson put a relative large handle under the small knot so it is really comfortable in use.
This Simpson is flying a bit under the radar but it deserves more than that imo; this is the best value you can get from Simpson I think. With the same price as the Wee Scot you have at least twice that brush with the Special.
Highly recommended!
