I started wet shaving almost a year ago and read here and lurked here plenty. I have tried so many razors and blades, which was fun! I settled on my Timeless and I honestly don't think there is a better razor! I love my Feather blades, Med Preps, Kai's, GSB's, etc.
I had only used a few brushes. First was a VDH boar, then a Perfecto badger, then Vie Long Horsehair, and then a synthetic I didn't want but could stand to see it sit in the store for months and no one buying it.
All of that being said is I ordered my first Simpsons brush but went cheap with it because it was just a special in Pure. $22. Fine! I always wanted a Simpson. Love the knot size and the lather it can make. Was going to order it in Pure but don't know why. Love the handle and the size but I see all of the brushes going bigger.
I just want a tool that does it's job. I have noticed it takes a little more water for lather. Guess that is because of the dense hair Simpson puts in it. Even at $22 it was nice feeling such a well made handle when I opened the box.
I don't know that there is really a point to this thread except to say I am a Simpson fan. Oh yeah, can I actually face lather and make circular strokes instead of painting like their instruction sheet shows? That was my main question when I started this thread. Sorry for the long paragraphs!
