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 firm of A. Simpson & Co continues
the tradition of making the world's finest shaving brushes, entirely by
hand, in a quiet rural backwater in Somerset, using techniques that have not
changed since the firm was founded. |
|
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.
----------------------------------------- |

|
|
Hand Stamping: After the cement has cured the handles are given a final
polish and stamped by hand using traditional lamp black. 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 leaflet on the care and use of the brush is enclosed
