Simpson Chubby No 2 & D.R. Harris Marlborough Shave Soap - Review 

Greetings from New York City-----------I had a milestone birthday last month (you know, the kind that comes every 5 years or so), and treated myself to a Simpson's Chubby 2 Super/Silver badger brush-----------Quite an experience---------I'm sure that the Chubby 2 Best is also much better than most other brushes in use today----------Expensive? Yes, but if you want to treat or pamper yourself, or if you are getting ready for a special day or night, you will definitely feel worthy of the experience.

Great presentation on the shaving brushes and shaving creams ever!

I purchased a sample of the Marlborough cologne and aftershave lotion today and i do get that tobacco type scent coming from it. Very unique but i like it !

I'm looking forward to adding a Chubby 2 to my brush lineup (which is, so far, synthetics). My favorite soap so far is Wholly Kaw and I can't wait to try a Chubby 2 with this soap.

Just like to say a big thank you to you Con for your advice on the Trufitt... review regarding glycerin. I myself found it hard to keep lather moist but after your tip it's been perfect since. And the 1805 is a beaut as well, thanks pal. I enjoy the vids so keep em coming.

I sold my condominium in a trendy upmarket neighbourhood in Bangkok and used the proceeds to purchase a Simpsons Chubby No.2 brush. It is being flown in by a special flight from the UK. I have a Massion Lambert shave brush which slipped out of my hand and fell on the floor. Thus the handle of the brush has become chipped. How sturdy is the Simpsons. Will it survive a fall?

i have a chubby 3 in best and it's an INCREDIBLE brush.

I specifically use the Simpsons Colonel shaving brush and Marlborough shaving soap. The D.R. Harris Marlborough soap is stunning in every respect. The scent alone is 'old world rugged masculinity' defined. There is nothing that comes close, in my opinion. It's pure old world luxury! The Simpsons Colonel shaving brush is tremendous value for money. The best brush I have ever used in fact. There is no soap or cream, to date, that this brush has not failed with. NONE! It's the perfect size as well; neither too large nor small. It's simply perfect. My advice - GET IT and GET IT NOW! Furthermore, I have tried countless shaving soaps and creams over the years - but for some reason the Marlborough shaving soap just keeps calling me back. Believe me, I know this sounds weird - but there's something so alluring about that scent; it's unlike anything else and stands alone.

Excellent and articulate video

I sent for the Duke 3, as my experience with big brushes isn't that good, having a Taylor S41, beautifully brush but way to large for my liking, I have also some brushes from Thäter, they're good for face lathering as well as the Duke, for bowl lathering I prefer softer brushes from Mühle or Shavemac

Thanks for your videos, they are very informative. Do you have any experience with the Chubby #3 in 2 band? What are your thoughts on it? Thank you.

Shave the Man could you elaborate some on what are the differences in the different Simpsons brush lines e.g. How is a Chubby different from a Duke etc and what does that mean for the shave?

Marlborough is the only soap i have from DR Harris for some reason it reminds me of a Man's sweaty locker room. I wanted to like it more maybe it will grow on me :)

I have Marlborough as a cream. I do like the scent. I do think it has a smoky feel but to me, not unpleasant. I am going to use it tomorrow and hopefully will knock up a first class lather, however, my best lathers at the moment are coming from Geo F Trumper Limes. Well worth a try!

Hello! I am in the market for a Simpsons Chubby 2 and am torn between the Best and Super badgers. Have you used the Super and if so how does it compare?

Is it as stiff as the Chubby 2 Synthetic?

The D.R. Harris outperforms my Mitchell's Wool Fat, the cedar is too strong in this scent though, it needs much more then a mere trace of sandalwood. I have a Duke 2 on the way.

Can you please review the Duke 3? Cheers :)

I only smell cedar with the Marlborough, I can't smell any sandalwood or any other notes

Why don't you ever do a shave video?

The colonel by Simpson is a great brush and a cheaper brush by Simpson

So, Marlborough or Windsor Soap? Is there any real difference? Τι πιστεύεις είναι καλύτερο σαν απόδοση? Το βρίσκω εδώ με 12 ευρώ. Greetings From Greece!

Are you English or Australian?
