My first Simpson

[hairscraper]

I finally invested in my first Simpson brush. I already own two brushes, the AOS pure badger and an Edwin Jagger xl best badger.
It´s named KH2 best badger, ..is that a good one? Does anyone here own one?

 

[Sueto]

Certainly not a bad one. It's one of the Simpsons you don't hear much about. It looks to be a substantial brush. Post up pics when you get it!

 

[Eelco]

..is that a good one? YES !
Very nice brush for soap & cream.

Regards,
Eelco

Thanks for your replies, really nice pic Eelco, now I´m even more excited in trying it.I couldn´t find a review of this particilar brush (Keyhole) that´s why I asked.
I´m stunned at the variety (and prices )of differend brushes.

Congrats! Hope you enjoy it.

Now there is one you don't hear too much about. Congrats on taking the path less traveled.

Looks to be a fine choice! Been eying that for a bit the past few days along with a Milk Churn. Tell us how you like it when you get it!

 

[beginish]

Yes, I have one too. Picked it up as part of my simpsons less travelled period. It feels soft and slight in your hand, but it has excellent backbone and lathers like crazy. Eelco's KH2 pictures in the SOTD thread are not digitally enhanced.

Great brush, so how do you like the other scents from the L'Occitane line? I sport the Cade products but haven't tried any of the others yet, they're scent seems a little stronger than the cade.

Thats a lovely brush. A bit unusual and not seen so often. I've taken a real fancy for the Simpson Milk Churn myself!

Oh, I like that one too!, in fact I think I like all of them, more pics please. I have just been drooling over those Simpson 90th aniversary brush pics,in the "sticky" thread,but like they say, one step at a time....,or I may be developing a brush fetish.

The Keyhole arived today. It was smaller I expected it to be, it´s a tiny one.
I believe there´s also a Keyhole 3 and 4 ,so I guess this is one of the small to midsize ones. Ofcourse it arrived after I shaved, but I wanted to give it a little lather test. Well, I can easily say, it performes amazingly good!, like Eelco mentioned. After 2(!) swirls in a tiny dab of cream ,I already had an amazing lather. I envy the guys who own the bigger fella´s of Simpsons.
I made 2 pics, one just after I unpacked it and one after the first use.

cheers,
Eric

Looks like a very nice selection you made. Do you wish now you had chosen a KH3 or KH4? If you think the KH2 is small, can you imagine the KH1? The lesser known Simpson brushes are
quite unique, the Keyhole, Milk Churn, love seeing them!

Nice brush, hairscraper! I'll bet the keyhole design is easy to grip when wet. Well done.

Thanks sir, yes the handle has an easy grip for sure.
I´m quite happy with my purchase.

Love those brushes! Can't wait to get another Simpson brush.

 

[kooshman7]

Very nice and clear lettering on that brush! It demands it's presence known!

 

[Paoloo]

Very nice brush !! Did you bought him from the Barbershop in Breukelen?
Good luck with the brush !

I sure do love Simpsons Best Badger. But for now I will stick with my Wee Scot and Duke 1. I think a Special or Case is next, maybe one of these fancy brushes after that.
