Simpson Colonel X2L Sovereign Grade Synthetic Fibre Shaving Brush, 21mm
Scotsman Alexander Simpson started production of shaving brushes and male grooming ancillaries in 1919 and is widely regarded as a pioneer in the industry. Manufacturing was originally based in the East end of London but later in Clapham. In 1941, following the loss of his factory during the World War II German Luftwaffe blitz, production was moved to the West Country at the famous Nimmer Mill.
Today Simpson shaving brushes and associated products are manufactured by Progress Shaving Brush (Vulfix) Limited on the historic Isle of Man. They continue to be produced in the traditional way using hand tied knots by time served skilled workers.
The famous military derived Colonel X2L shaving brush is celebrated here in a classic faux Ivory handle and filled with our uniquely sourced Sovereign grade synthetic fibre.
Described by many as the perfect introduction to the Simpson stable of brushes.
The Colonel X2L represents amazing value for money and is a very versatile performer, equally adept with both shaving soaps & creams.
