Simpsons Chubby 2 Sovereign Fibre Shaving Brush puts the brand's own Sovereign grade synthetic fibre into the Chubby 2 handle, one of the best known shapes in wet shaving. The knot measures 26mm across with a 51mm loft, so it carries a large volume of lather while staying short enough to keep the tips firm against the face.
The handle is turned from faux ivory resin and stands 44mm tall, bringing the brush to 95mm overall. Knots across the Simpsons range are tied by hand on the Isle of Man, and the Simpsons name itself dates back to 1919. The fill here is synthetic rather than badger or boar, so it is a straightforward choice if you want an animal friendly shaving brush that still lathers and preforms exceptionally well.
Key Features
- 26mm knot filled with Simpsons Sovereign grade synthetic fibre.
- Dense fill that builds lather quickly from creams and hard pucks alike.
- Faux ivory resin handle in the classic Chubby 2 profile.
- 100% Synthetic Sovereign Fibre
- Hand tied knot, made on the Isle of Man.
How to Use
Wet the knot under warm water and shake out the excess. Simpsons suggests working its synthetic fibre brushes with back and forth or painting strokes rather than swirling, either straight onto a puck of soap or in a bowl. Add water a little at a time until the lather thickens, then paint it onto the face. Rinse the brush through after the shave, shake it out and leave it standing or hanging to dry.
