Simpson Duke 2

[isaac d.]

I just landed a Duke 2 in a trade and I wanna hear how much I'm gonna love this brush haha. This will be my first Simpson (first Badger for that matter). How does she work for face lathering? I've heard it's a great all-around brush but lets see some pics and hear some testimonials.

I can't wait for it to arrive!

I'm waiting on mine! I heared they are great face latherers. This is definitely one of those brushes that has been given a lot of love lately. I'm hoping it lives up to the hype!

Both of you guys are in for a real treat. The Duke 2 is a great brush.

Face lathers very well.
Give it a dozen uses and it will soften and become a favorite.

If either of you decide otherwise, send me a PM and I'll buy it!

I have mine about 2 weeks now and love it. MaxP is right give it a few shaves. I shaved with mine about 7 times and it only gets better. This will move into the #1 spot in my rotation. Iassc and Dozer you will love this brush. Good Luck.

This is one of those brushes that everyone MUST try, because the odds are very good that it will quickly become a favorite. Most brushes are great at one or two things and okay at others, but the Duke 2 is that rare brush that is great at almost everything. As everyone else has said, you are really in for a treat.

It's a classic for a darn good reason.

This is by far my favorite badger brush. I can't say enough good about it. You'll love it!

Do you guys have NO love for a Duke 1?

 

[Teddyboy]

The Duke 2 is simply an awesome brush. I am actually fighting with myself b/c I want a second one for when I'm away at work during the week (i.e., away from home). OK, you guys convinced me.

@Ted.

Go for it man. You'll not regret it... at all.

Amazing brush, especially for face lathering soaps.

 

[shave~extacy]

One of my all time favorites, used with and Italian soft soap .... I cant think of a better shave.

These were our thoughts a little while back........ can't imagine that much has changed.

Since mine arrived a month ago I have not used another brush, nor wanted to. My initial thought was "oh this is what face lathering is supposed to feel like". Congratulations, it will likely become your favorite.

 

[Oscroft]

Yep, it's a terrific brush! With the density, mine took a few uses to start flowing properly, but now it works just great.
