Description from the Vendor

Scotsman Alexander Simpson started production of shaving brushes and male grooming ancillaries in 1919 and is widely regarded as a pioneer in the industry. Manufacturing was originally based in the East end of London but later in Clapham. In 1941, following the loss of his factory during the World War II German Luftwaffe blitz, production was moved to the West Country at the famous Nimmer Mill. Today Simpson shaving brushes and associated products are manufactured by Progress Shaving Brush (Vulfix) Limited on the historic Isle of Man. They continue to be produced in the traditional way using hand tied knots by time served, skilled workers.

The Trafalgar is the latest offering from our new line of Alexander Simpson Est. 1919 shaving brushes. This superbly crafted & eye catching lathe turned handle is filled with our uniquely sourced Sovereign grade synthetic fibre.

Trafalgar T3 Approximate Specifications:

  • Overall brush height : 100 mm
  • Height of the handle: 50 mm
  • Height of the hair: 50 mm+
  • Diameter of the knot: 26 mm

Great synthetic brush

I’m a fan and exclusively use synthetic brushes. I really enjoyed the feel of this brush, it held its form well and lathered up soap very easily. I recommend it if you’re looking for a synthetic and especially at this price. Also WCS great service. Thank you.

Practice makes perfect

For my first shave with this brush I used a puck of soap and applied the pressure in a swirling motion I’m used to using. The lather was thin and cold. The next time I used a two part scuttle with hot water in the bottom. I used a cream and was careful to use almost no pressure , thus keeping the lather out on the tips of the brush. I used a light painting stroke to apply the lather. This takes some practice, but the results are terrific.

T3 Simpson Trafalgar synthetic

I would like it to have more fibers in it, (thicker/dense knot). It felt a little loose to me. Nice brush though.

Awesome brush but a stand that fits?

This product is excellent. Nuff said. Simpson's does a great job with its synthetic experiment. The one thing I'd ask: West Coast - can you recommend a stand for this beast? Its really wide and so far I haven't come up with something to accommodate it.

Simpson does not fail

I used my brush immediately after receiving it and I can only give high marks. I have several synthetic hair brushes and this beats them all. The difference between the Simpson and the others is the backbone of the Simpson brush. They managed to put a sturdy backbone in their synthetic brush. And with a softness that matches the other synthetic brushes in my collection. Everything else, like creating great lather, was there. Also, it is a NICE looking brush. For the price, it is a must have.
