Simpson 57 Best Badger Shaving Brush, 22mm

Luxury

This feel luxury in a big densely packed brush. As per Simpson site, this brush leans more towards the 23mm, long knot, with a resulting in a near 65mm bloom knot, compare to my 56, 21mm, short knot, with a resulting near 50mm bloom knot. There's a big gap between the two brother, the 56 being good at small bowl and face touch up, while the 57 feels more of a big luxury brush. So for me, this is my week-end luxury brush, when I don't mind over using some soap in a big bowl for that little more of everything feeling. Just wish there would be a 56.5 model between these two for a more casual-versatile uses.
