Wee Scot Best Badger Shave Brush 70mm shave brush by Simpson

By a long shot, the Simpson Wee Scot is the tiniest shave brush I own. It measures approximately the length of your index finger. The handle is small, but it is very comfortable to hold. The badger's bristles are medium in length and extremely soft. They splay out nicely and cover your face well (and lather up quickly). Because this brush doesn't hold a lot of water due to its small size, I have to dip it into water more frequently to get the soap/cream to lather. It's not an issue because I won't be using this brush on a daily basis. Rather, it's ideal for travel because it's light and compact. The price is reasonable, especially considering that it is a handcrafted brush from England. Overall, it's a fine brush that does exactly what you'd expect it to do.

When I first opened the box, I couldn't believe how small it was; it's about the size of my thumb, and my thumb isn't particularly large. Regardless, it's still a Simpson, and it's a well-made one at that. I own a Simpson Duke 3 and the wee is just as nice, albeit much smaller. I bought it for travel, but I wanted to test it out at home first. I was skeptical at first, wondering how it would lather. I held it between my thumb, index, and middle finger, shaved it with a la toja shave stick, and tried it on my face. It began to lather, much to my surprise! It was the first brush to go where no other brush had gone before. I didn't get any lather in my nose or mouth while I was lathering my lip! Hey, this is really cool, I'm thinking. It didn't shed a single strand of hair. I'm not sure I'd use this on a daily basis, but it'll fit nicely in my tumi A2 toiletry kit. I'm looking forward to using it during my 10-day vacation. In a few months, I'll provide an update. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> the 30th of September I've had this wee for two months and planned to use it with a shave stick for travel. So, I swirled it around in my AOS sandlewood jar to see how it would perform with a cream, and wow, what a lather! The cream had just exploded out of the brush. It's one of the best brushes of any size, and I'm going to keep it in my regular rotation.

Since I got this brush, I've taken it on every trip I've taken. If that's not big enough for you, look for something else. It's extremely small — like completely concealable in your fist small — so if that's not big enough for you, look for something else. Before you make a purchase, check the product dimensions. br>br>I don't mind the small size; it's much easier to store and throw into a toiletry bag, and the badger hair absorbs a lot of water and lathers well. It will take more strokes to cover the same amount of ground as, say, a 26mm brush, but the difference isn't significant given how much the hairs splay on this. I actually make a lot less of a mess and don't get lather on my earlobes with this. br>br>There is some backbone, but it splays out enough to cover a large area. The hairs are a little scratchier than a nice silvertip brush (I'm comparing to ones that cost upwards of $100), but it's miles ahead of the lower-quality badger hair brushes in the same price range (which start at $30). This one is a lot softer and can hold a lot more water. When it arrived, it had a slight badger odor, but that dissipated after a couple of shaves. br>br>Considering the small size alone, the late $30 range is a lot of money, but I think it's a good deal because of the good quality and portability. With this brush and a regular-sized brush, you'll be able to get the job done. I'm more likely to use this one on a daily basis than the sized best badger for the same price. br>br>In conclusion, if you want a high-quality, small travel brush, this is the brush for you.

I wasn't a fan of face lathering with larger brushes in the past, but it seems to work best with this one (I've been using Jermyn Street by Taylor of Old Bond, if that makes a difference). I also like the size because it allows me to get into the crevices of my moustache without clogging my nostrils or mouth with shaving cream. In addition, I store it in a tall, fat prescription medicine bottle with holes drilled in the cap to allow it to breathe and dry between uses. So far, no hair loss has occurred, and the animal odor was minimal upon arrival and completely gone after a couple of shaves. So far, it's been a good investment.

br>br>It's the ideal size for travel or at home! Because good shaving soap is expensive, you would normally spend a lot of money on a large brush, but not with this one. The Wee Scot is the perfect fit for your mug. br>br>Buy it, use it, and fall in love with it - and you'll succeed.

I bought the wee scot as a travel brush because I travel a lot for work and need to look presentable for client visits. Regardless of whether I'm at home or on the road, this brush has become my go-to. br>br>The bristles have just the right feel to them and have lathered anything I've thrown at them, including hotel facial bar soap when I forgot my regular puck at home. I usually do a minor recharge after the second pass because the wee scot can only hold enough product for three passes. I have a problem with lather, but if you use a bowl or scuttle, you shouldn't have any problems. br>br>Despite the fact that it holds a limited amount of product, I find the smaller size ideal for applying lather precisely where I want it. I don't understand why traditional shaving brushes are so much larger now that I've used this one, especially around my upper lip and around my side burns. Despite the fact that the brush needs to be recharged occasionally, much less product appears to be wasted. br>br>On the travel side, the small brush dries out quickly and fits nicely into a prescription bottle with airholes drilled. There's no need to be concerned about a damp bag or mildew. br>br>Overall, a fantastic brush that is well worth the money.
