Simpson Islington - Pure Badger - Ebony Marble Shaving Brush

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 Islington Brush is a new offering from our Alexander Simpson Est. 1919 line is available in two sizes. This superbly crafted & eye catching lathe turned handle and filled with carefully selected, hand tied Pure Badger hair. The hair is dark and silver in appearance, immediately identifying it as being of an above average standard and extremely pure.
