For years (if not a decade now) I’ve had the same two brushes. Both badger, but of noticeably different character. The Simpson being much softer and best used with creams and croaps. And the best badger Art of Shaving brush that has considerably more spine, and is preferable with hard soaps.
Anyway, the two of them were still fine when I was switching up soaps daily, but with me going for week long goes at a time with the same soap for reviewing, you can really see the old Simpson fighting back by going all limp when I use it constantly. As you say, every other day. So I bought two new brushes. Should help out a ton I’m thinking, but I’d love to have my Simpson back to normal! Vinegar it is!
