- Gary Young reports:
"The Colonel name come from Colonel David Durie who was the Colonel of the Somerset Light Infantry in World War 2. One of Great Uncle Alex's and my grandfather, Tom's, oldest friends. It was classed as 'Military style' because it was normally purchased alongside one of our 'military club' hairbrushes (we also owned Coate's hairbrush business which was in existence since 1847). The 2 companies of Simpsons & Coate's amalgamated after Great Uncle Alex moved the shaving brush business in Somerset (UK) when his factory was bombed by the German Luftwaffe in 1941." - Colonel in Best B&B Reviews
