Change of Ownership for the Simpsons Brand of Brushes

Progress Shaving Brush (Vulfix) Ltd has purchased the Simpsons line of brushes and we expect to receive our first post-sale stock in the next month. In the meantime, any brushes currently left in our inventory are from before the sale.

We understand that Vulfix intends to keep the Simpsons line of brushes "as is" and all weights of hair and other specifications will remain the same. They will be supporting Simpsons brushes both pre and post sale.
Em's Place looks forward to receiving the Simpsons line through their company. We think this is good news, and hope our customers will too... Vulfix is located on the Isle of Man in the UK, and our first new batch of Simpsons brushes should arrive in the next several weeks. We wish Vulfix much success with this new addition to their product line.

Handmade Simpson's brushes use three classifications for their bristle grades. Pure, Best and Super. In general, these bristles are a little more stout than some, especially in the higher grades. Sorting, climate and region can all effect the bristle's texture and feel.

-----------------------------------------

Our understanding is higher mountain badgers produce bristles that can be whiter and more heavy in texture for superior performance. In addition, the bristle 'knots' in these brushes are set deeper in the handle than normal, another factor when determining value. See additional information below, the bristle FAQ, the anatomy of a brush or the bristle types for more details.

Notice: Actual bristle shading can vary from the photos shown below due to photo lighting, monitor calibration and variations inherent with natural and handmade products. Inquire about stock on hand if you have a specific need or desire. In addition, brush heights shown on this page are approximates taken from the Simpsons catalog. For more detailed estimate information and measurements based on inventory at the time of measurement refer to the Simpsons Measurement Page.

-----------------------------------------

Some history: Alexander Simpson started making shaving brushes in the East End of London in 1919. He soon built up the business and in 1924, moved to Clapham where he established an award-winning reputation for his shaving brushes. In 1941, following the loss of his factory in the blitz, Mr Simpson moved his business to the West Country. Today the Simpsons brand lives on and is being produced by Progress Shaving Brush (Vulfix) Ltd, located on the Isle of Man in the UK.
The process: Each shaving brush handle continues to be individually turned on a lathe. The handles are polished and filled by hand with a 'knot' of fine quality selected Chinese badger hair. The hair for each knot is sorted, weighed and tied by a skilled craftsman who then carefully cements the knot into the handle.

-----------------------------------------

Stamping: After the cement has cured the handles are given a final polish and stamped. Finally the distinctive SIMPSONS seal is applied. Each brush is individually presented wrapped in tissue and comes in a stout cardboard box in Simpsons blue-grey livery. A note about the care and use of the brush is enclosed
