Post your Butterscotch Eye Candy Here!

I have this Simpson. Markings on the brush are too faded for me to make out the model. Anyone recognize the model from the shape?

Looks like a Special

A beautiful brush.

Thanks Nemo .... indeed it does.

I has mistakenly thought the Special was a new model, not old enough to have turned butterscotch (not that I know how long that takes). Also the modern Specials all have Special etched into the handle right above the badger hair type, and this one has no such mark. I guess the model name wasn't etched in back then? I'll have to search the B&B brush forum.

Here's my Made Rite 58, restored with a TGN 22mm silvertip Grade A. Butterscotch heaven, in my book.

I have one or two of these handles. Now I really have to get a new knot in one of them! Beautiful.

Welcome to the B&B!

that is a nice handle, how do you liike the knot? Vintage knots are hit and miss I find.

the handle is great and in perfect condition. brush came in the original box via an estate find. the knot seems a little thin for my liking after a break in shave today but I will give it a good run over the next week.

thanks for the welcome, long time lurker looking forward to future contributions to the community.

This Simpsons MF5 for Marshall Fields & Co. arrived earlier today. The Duke 3 and vintage 57 are there for size comparisons.


I'm thinking this one might need a reknot. It lathered fine in a quick test lather, but it seems to be shedding a bit. The original knot is Best.

Made in England Wilkinson Sword. Going to order a new 18mm knot for it sometime soon. Not sure what yet though.

Anybody recognize this brush? I think it's a Rooney? No other markings other than the sticker..

That is a Rooney indeed, the boar knots can be very nice once broken in

Simpsons "D1" ... BUT it's not a "Duke." Boar bristles. Well, they were boar until I plucked 'em out over the weekend.

Share your opinions as to whether I should reknot with more boar (moar bore, boar no more?) or badger.

Don't bother. Just send it to me for proper disposal.

In all seriousness that is one of the nicest brushes I have ever seen
