The perfect care of a Simpson shaving brush (although it actually applies to most shaving brushes):

Brush preparation
The Simpson shaving brush should be soaked in warm water for a few minutes before shaving, to allow the bristles to soften and retain heat. The correct water temperature should be one that allows you to immerse your hand without burning it excessively. Too much heat could irreversibly damage the hair.

Application of shaving soap
Simpson 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.

Final cleaning of your Simpson Shaving Brush
This 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.
