The T3 is my favorite so far. It manages to be soft, yet have sufficient backbone and texture to making lathering easy. I have softer badger brushes, but overall, I prefer the performance of this brush. It holds water and heat well.I have tried one other synthetic brush. It was a WCS-branded brush. It performed very poorly, holding very little water. It felt almost like a thick, round, paintbrush. Unfortunately, the brush is too large to fit my current stand, so it'll need replacement. I might've picked the T2 if I had figured that out in advance. Apparently, it's fine to dry these just standing on the counter, though, so I might just do that. Review: Great Brush!! Soft, Holds More Water Than You Need and Makes Great Lather - I'm new to wet shaving, so I have no other experience with a shaving brush to reference this one with. I watched numerous videos before buying ANYTHING related to wet shaving. Ohio Shaves on YouTube loved this brush, so I bought and I'm very glad I did. There are cheaper brushes, but also much more expensive ones, so I still gave it 5 stars for Value for Money. I'm extremely happy with this brush and don't feel the need to experiment with others, whereas I've bought multiple different DE razors and blades. It's nice to have at least ONE stable aspect to my new wet shaving hobby. Here are my pros and cons: PROS: -Soft -Feels great -Absorbent - Does a great job picking up water. I usually have to shake and squeeze it out or it can pick up too much water, which is a good thing. -Make Great Lather - I use a very small amount of Sandalwood Shave Cream from Tayloy on Old Bond Stret and just push down into the bowl whiles stirring and the lather kind of explodes in the bowl. -Looks - I bought the black handle T3 and it looks great on our bathroom counter. I have a marble bowl which is scratching the finish a little, but that probably wouldn't be an issue in a plastic or porcelain bowl. CONS: -None really. Maybe price? $43 seemed kind of expensive for a synthetic brush, but cheap compared to some badger and boar brushes. Anything cheaper could be real junk, so I didn't hunt for something to save $10+/- after seeing a bunch of glowing reviews on YouTube and desertcart. I highly recommend this brush, but then again I have no experience with other brushes. My experience with this one has been great and i would buy it again. ## Features - 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. - The Trafalgar is the latest offering from our new line of Alexander Simpson Est. 1919 shaving brushes. This superbly crafted & eye catching lathe turned handle is filled with our uniquely sourced Sovereign grade synthetic fibre. - Measurements - Today we are perhaps the only remaining manufacturer of genuinely hand-made shaving brushes within Great Britain and the British Isles. Our extensive range of products in a large variety of styles & materials make Simpson the number one choice when selecting your next brush. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09VQ4VB2F | | Best Sellers Rank | #53,562 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #14 in Shaving Brushes | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (976) | | Item model number | Trafalgar Synthetic | | Manufacturer | Simpson Shaving Brushes | | Package Dimensions | 6.61 x 2.2 x 2.05 inches; 4.16 ounces | ## Images ![Alexander Simpsons Trafalgar 3 Black Shaving Brush - T3 Synthetic High Density Fibre Handle - Simpson Shaving Brushes - Wet Shave Deluxe Thick & Luxurious Lather Dense Extra Soft Bristles - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fKmWjUKDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Feels and performs like a high quality natural brush *by C***. on January 7, 2026* Over the last 45 years, I have owned several boar and badger brushes, all of which were mid-range or higher in quality and price.

Thick bristles that are soft, but not too soft and they hold water well so working up a lather is a pleausre. I shave every morning and I feel like I am using a luxury item - what a great way to start the day! Over the last 15 years I have tried a number of brushes and I really didn't know how a good brush should feel until I tried this Simpson's. The brush was so great, that I bought two so they could dry completely between uses! ## Frequently Bought Together - Alexander Simpson Trafalgar Synthetic Shaving Brush - Simpson Shaving Brushes - Faux Ivory Handle (T3 Ebony) - Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream Bowl, 5.3-Ounce - Proraso Refreshing Shaving Cream for Men --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/432148340-alexander-simpsons-trafalgar-3-black-shaving-brush-t3-synthetic-high](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/432148340-alexander-simpsons-trafalgar-3-black-shaving-brush-t3-synthetic-high) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
