About this product
Scotsman Alexander Simpson started production of shaving brushes and male grooming ancillaries in 1919 and is widely regarded as a pioneer in the industry. Manufacturing was originally based in the East end of London but later in Clapham. In 1941, following the loss of his factory during the World War II German Luftwaffe blitz, production was moved to the West Country at the famous Nimmer Mill.
Today Simpson shaving brushes and associated products are manufactured by Progress Shaving Brush (Vulfix) Limited on the historic Isle of Man. They continue to be produced in the traditional way using hand tied knots by time served, skilled workers.
The Captain 2 is the latest handle design from our master craftsmen. Originally produced in 2016 & later released that year, this classically sleek & versatile shaving brush has been wonderfully received by the shaving community at large.
Flowing lines & a tall ergonomically friendly handle make this brush extremely well suited to those shavers who favor building their lather in a bowl.
Our glorious Captain 2 available here in traditional faux Ivory is crammed full of our widely regarded Sovereign Grade synthetic fibre making it the perfect marriage of looks & performance.

The ultimate face lathering experience.
