Persian Jar Brush
I just ordered my first true silver tip brush. A Simpson Persian Jar number 2. I ordered it from Lee's Safety razors and Lee was very helpful. I ordered it on Thursday so now the wait begins...

It arrived on Tuesday. Sadly, I was in Chicago so i didn't get it for another 3 days. I have so far tried it with Taylors and my beloved castle forbes. It did a fantastic job building the lather. and dried out very quickly after rinsing. I will post a longer review later when i am more awake...

Ahh, another Persian Jar fan.
When I was in Austin visiting Charles Roberts the other week I got to play with a number of Simpson brushes. I didn't care for the Chubby line at all, but ohhhhhhh, the Persian Jar 3 (and even the PJ2) felt soooo good in my hand. I'll put one on my Christmas list (hey, it could happen...).

Yeah,
I think I can say that I got a Simpson brush without any influence by cetain retailers. I am not a big fan of someone telling me who to do things that is why I wouldn't ever go in for anything like that. Life is a journey and I think it should fun figuring things out for yourself!
The PJ2 the only deciding facter for me was that i knew it would be silvertip without dispute and it was the right price.
I will say that now since i have been using it for a while that the brush has opened up and is now holding a lot more water. And the lather is exploding. I do have to think that Simpson is an ideal brush for Castle Forbes. The combination of those two or a similar brush ie. Plisson or the elusive rooney would make for a wonderfully enjoyable morning!

Mark, They are certainly a very useful brush. I am looking at the vulfix 38 now just for sheer insanity.... I figure build the lather with a soap and just go to town!

Well,
I think I may not end up keeping the PJ2. the silvertip has a pointier hair (only way i can describe it) It helps make the lathering fast that is all i can think but my skin is so sensitive that it is aggrivating the hassle.

can anyone comment on how stiff the best badger in simpsons is compared to say the kent bk8? one thing i notice is that with the handmade simpsons, you dont feel a plug at the base of the knot of the hair, and that the handles do seem to be well done. i have had two other badger brushes: a crabtree and evelyn made by edwin jaegger in best badger and the kent brush. the kent is real soft and was from the get go. the crabtree was a stiff brush but loosened up. i have not wetted the simpsons yet, but it feels stiff against the face
