Simpsons brushes

[beraza]

I know Progress Shaving Brush (Vulfix) bought Simpsons, but are these made too in the factory of Isle of Man too?

 

[Fido]

Yes - according to Vulfix. No reason to believe otherwise.

 

[Rev-O]

Yes they are.

 

[factormax]

Yes. The original Simpson's workshop in Somerset, complete with lathe powered by a watermill, is now razed to the ground. Presumably replaced by a supermarket or garden centre.

Thanks Fido! That's excellent! I was informed by a former Simpsons worker that the factory had 'all gone', which I took to mean demolished. I'm pleased to say I was wrong.

 

[Rev-O]

I have a brush from there. Butterscotch (but of course) and BNIB NOS for a fiver.

I was offered a hundred dollars for it on B&B.

 

[factormax]

It'd be great to see that, Rev!

Well I'm new to photobucket and crap with a camera but I'll see what I can do . . . .

Suffice to say it is lovely.

If my info is correct Vulfix purchased Simpson in 2008.
