It appears that there has been alot of Simpson threads going on. Custom Simpsons, Anniversary Simpsons, Threads about the Wee Scot, the Keyhole and I think I did one about the Eagle. rolleyes
Some time has elapsed since Vulfix obtained Simpson and moved the shop from Somerset to the Isle of Man. I must admit that I met the change with some trepidation and early on wouldn't buy a Vulfix-made Simpson, being such an ardent fan of the original brushes.
My first foray was a Tulip 3 which I thought did not resemble the characteristics of the original Simpson hair. Good brush but not what I had signed on for so I sold it.
Then the two-band wave hit and I picked up a two-banded Tulip 2. Hey, now this is a good brush, I thought. I like it. Then, I picked up a 90th Anniversary Astor Brush which I am still reserving on since I only used it twice but so far, so good.
I am impressed with the job that Vulfix has done with the Simpson line. I think initially the quality was somewhat lacking since they may have been anxious to recoup on their initial investment but then it appeared they exercised a little more care in the production of this once proud line of legendary brushes.
I think Vulfix is returning the Simpson line to its rightful place in the shaving brush pantheon as one of the top brushes in the wet-shaving world.
Kudos to Vulfix on a job well-done.
