Why is the Simpson Highbury Platinum Synthetic the ideal travel shaving brush?

British Heritage Since 1919: Handmade brush with Platinum Grade synthetic fibre and travel case

Simpson Highbury Platinum Synthetic Shaving Brush – Ebony Marble

The Simpson Highbury Platinum Synthetic is an exquisitely elegant travel shaving brush from the Alexander Simpson Est. 1919 line. The lathe-turned handle features a striking Ebony Marble design reminiscent of fine Italian marble craftsmanship. The brush houses Simpson's exclusive Platinum Grade synthetic fibres, hand-tied by skilled craftsmen on the historic Isle of Man in Britain. Scotsman Alexander Simpson started production of shaving brushes in 1919 and is widely regarded as a pioneer in the industry. Today, the company continues the tradition of handmade manufacturing with the same dedication for over a century.

Why Choose This Brush:

• Platinum Grade synthetic fibres with exceptionally soft tips, ideal for sensitive skin and super-fast drying
• Compact 20mm knot perfect for travel and daily use with excellent lather generation
• Hand-tied knot using traditional Simpson techniques by skilled artisans on the Isle of Man
• Includes elegant faux ebony travel case for protection and portability

How to Use:

Soak the brush in warm water for a few minutes before shaving. For perfect lather, Simpson recommends using back and forth or paintbrush strokes rather than circular motions. After shaving, rinse thoroughly with clean water, removing all soap residues. Allow to dry completely in a ventilated area or on a brush stand.
