Thread: What's a good Simpsons brush for Mitchell's Wool Fat?

Just got a Simpsons LE QE II Jubilee Manchurian badger brush, it is the only Simpson brush I own, and there has not been a soap that I use that it cannot whip up into a great lather including MWF. I face lather with cold water and it feels soft on the face while retaining good backbone and I have not noticed any real harshness. This particular knot seems to have a very good balance in the characteristics I wanted in a brush. Very pleased with it's performance.

I'm not a believer in specialized brushes for certain shaving media. I would say buy whatever you want with the caveat not to get a really floppy brush.

I have a Simpson Case and also use MWF, along with a couple other soaps. I have no problem getting a good lather, and I'm only a beginner, so the case might be a good option for you. Nice and stiff, and loads up real good -- a little on the small side, but dense.

Thanks for the replies. I ordered a Commodore X3 yesterday. I'm guessing it'll arrive the end of next week or so. I'll let you know how it goes.

I agree. I think it's best to learn how to use the equipment you have rather than to have a specialised tool for everything. Unless, of course, hoarding is your thing lol
