Howdy. I recently got a Simpson Trafalgar T3 brush. Now, I haven’t done a scientific study or even a simple side-by-side comparison, but I was wondering if the brush makes a big difference in the lather you get. It’s only within the last year that I bought a Parker silvertip and this T3. Prior to that, I have been using an Omega boar brush for the last ten years. It was my only brush. It seems to me that when I mix up a lather in the bowl, I never go back to the bowl after lathering, because the T3 has enough lather for more than three passes. It seems like I could use half the cream or soap as usual and still have plenty for a shave.
