Thread: simpson wee scot..

it just looks so cute and cuddly.. i really want one.. does anyone have one or care to comment on it?.. i've really been enjoying my aos sampler brush and think smaller brushes are my new thing.. anyone else recommend any tiny brushes? or know anything about the wee scot?

Ive been using one since I started shaving with a straight. I couldnt bring myself to pay for a full sized badger brush, when starting, so I chose the wee scott. I was a little taken aback when I opened the package and it finally occured to me why they named it what they did. Sometimes I will get low on lather towards the end of my shaves, since the wee scotts are too small to load up with loads of cream but I have never had to mix up a second batch, the bright side is that I am still on my first tub of cream about seven months in. I am stepping up a bit in size with my next brush, but the wee scott has been a fine brush and will probably be my travel brush once my 22mm thater arrives. Sorry I couldnt give a helpful comparison, I have only used the wee scott.

My first brush was a Allesse, TGQ carries them, Silver tip and very nice over all. It's the one on the right in the pic looks bigger here but it's a small bugger.

I have a Wee Scot that I bought a few years ago (whenever Cory Greenberg was blogging about how much he loved the WS). It works ok IMO, but it really is kind of a novelty. Overall I think it's just too small to be very usable on a daily basis.

Having said that, it's a well made brush and if you think you might like the size pick one up and give it a try. Brush size is like razor size in that your personal preference is probably the key factor you should pay attention to.

ok.. i'm pulling the trigger and getting it.. it's $35 on westcoastshaving.com .. so far that seems to be the best price.

Good for you. I don't own a Wee Scot myself, but have heard good things about them.

As Bill noted, however, brushes and brush sizes are a very personal choice. After awhile you may find that you prefer a larger sized brush, especially if you have large hands.
