Product Review

The smallest brush that Simpsons makes, and possibly the smallest practical shaving brush in production anywhere, the Wee Scot is filled with best badger hair for a great shaving experience. Capable of so much more than the size suggests, the Wee Scot is a travel size brush that ends up in many wet-shavers every-day rotation. This brush performs best when used for lathering directly on the face. This brush is 70mm tall with a lathe-turned handle decorated with Alexander Simpson's signature. Simpsons were founded in 1919 by Alexander Simpson, and originally made brushes in the East End of London. The business and its reputation rapidly grew, and in 1924 Simpsons relocated to Clapham. The factory was unfortunately destroyed by German bombing in 1941, at which point they relocated a second time to the West Country. In 2008 Simpsons brushes were acquired by the more recently founded but no less well regarded brush-maker, Progress Vulfix, who have continued the tradition of entirely handmade brushes using the traditional techniques. Handle height: 31 mm Total height: 67 mm Bristle loft: 36 mm Knot diameter (at base): 14 mm Handmade in England
