Simpson's "Major" Best Badger shaving brush
$150. Pick-up from Johnsonville.
Simpson's "Major" Best Badger shaving brush. Designed for travelling, but perfect for daily use at home too.
Bought in Australia in 2017 at AUD 220. The brush is currently going for GBP 92.80 (about NZD 190) on Simpson's official site, and USD 146.99 (around NZD 223) on West Coast Shaving's website, a popular male grooming product vendor in the US.
The brush is in excellent condition. The reason for selling it, is that I have become used to the brushes with synthetic fibres.
Pre-owned shaving brushes are not necessarily inferior to the new ones. Just like painting brushes, the performance gets better and reaches full potential with uses, this process is known as break-in. The brush is fully broken in, only received occasional use (around 3 to 5 uses per month) during the first year of purchase. The brush has been well cared for with regular cleaning and conditioning, even being unused for the past 4 years.
Simpson's shaving brushes are widely regarded & acknowledged as being the finest in the world. Some popular models such as "Duke" and "Chubby" are available in New Zealand, ranging from NZD 160 to 300, this model of "Major" is still nowhere to be found here to date.
Specifications:
Overall brush height - 116mm (Screwed together as a brush)
Handle height - 78mm
Knot loft - 38mm
Knot diameter - 17mm
Weight - 82g
