The correct water temperature should be one that allows you to immerse your hand without scalding it excessively. Too much heat could irreversibly damage the hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication of Shaving Soap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimpson advises against applying soap to the face through circular movements. This operation potentially makes the hair structurally more fragile towards the base of the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Cleaning of your Simpson Shaving Brush\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the most “critical” phase for all brushes. It is necessary to ensure that all soap residues are removed from the knot, rinsing it with warm and clean water. Then gently squeeze the base of the knot to assess if it is completely free of residues and finally, stroke the bristles on a soft cloth. Leave the hair to dry completely on the stand (if available) or in a ventilated area (like near an open window). Allow the brush to dry completely between uses to avoid mold formations that could damage the hair. A correct drying cycle could require up to 48 hours, for this reason, the purchase of a second Simpson shaving brush is highly recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScotsman 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.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Isle of Man.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simpson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49424756080916,"sku":"SIMPSONHIGHBURYTSBPBH","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4903\/7076\/files\/SimpsonHighburytsbpbh_7b22d86b-c752-47e9-a42f-6dc794bdc08c.jpg?v=1724879693","url":"https:\/\/nesc-development-08192024.myshopify.com\/products\/simpson-highbury-small-shaving-brush-with-travel-tube-pure-badger-1","provider":"NESC Development 08192024","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
