About Alexander Simpson: 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.

Do straight razors ship next day?
Do straight razors ship next day?
Straight Razors need extra attention. Our in house Honemeister must break the seal, hone and strop your razor to "Crazy Sharp", and then sanitize and ship it to you. Depending on our workload, this could take 1 - 3 days, but on average about a day after purchase.
