Simpson M6 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 M6 is one of the original Alexander Simpson brush designs dating back to 1919 around the time the company was founded in the East End of London. The 'M' denotes Macauley Road, the street address where the business was based at that time. As such, the handle design is synonymous within the shaving aficionado community. 

This gorgeous M6, the smaller, some might say cuter sibling to its big M7 brother, is turned using a classic faux Ivory rod & densely filled with our uniquely sourced Sovereign grade synthetic fibre.
