Since the news of the transfer of ownership of the Simpsons brand over to Vulfix, many have speculated about what the newly produced Simpsons brushes would look like and whether or not the quality would be the same as before.  I have been collecting various models of Simpsons brushes for the past two years, and I use these brushes regularly and really enjoy the characteristics of Simpsons that makes them unique from other traditional shaving brushes. Having several Vulfix brand brushes as well, I was hoping that the new owners of the brand would be able to produce a new brush by the same standards that would be worthy of carrying the Simpsons label on it.  Last week I received one of the new brushes from Lee Cantor (leesrazors.com) in one of his first shipments to arrive.

Right out of the box I was impressed with this shaving brush! This model is commonly rebranded and sold by high-end vendors, such as Truefitt & Hill and The Art of Shaving, for more than double the price of the original Vulfix model. My brush is stamped with the custom logo from Lee's Safety Razors; however, Lee prices this brush the same as an Original Vulfix.  Upon opening the blue presentation box, it was obvious this brush is very well made and easily surpassed what I expected for the asking price.

Thanks to the efforts of Lee Cantor and Vulfix, the new model 660 is now available. This line of brushes is available in three basic sizes (small, medium, and large) and knotted with your choice of either Pure or Super Badger hair.  Obviously, that is not to say it won't work well with creams either, of course. The goal of the 660 model is to offer a good quality badger brush at an affordable price point.
