Brush of the Month Astor Best Badger faux Ivory

The Astor is a special edition shaving brush that evokes memories of yesteryear. One of the original Alexander Simpson brush designs, the handle disappeared from production for many decades before it was resurrected to celebrate the 90 year anniversary of the company in 2009. 

Here it returns to celebrate our centenary & we cannot underestimate the virtues & charms of the flawless handle curves and of course, that magnificent Simpson hand-tied Best Badger knot.

The Astor is a brush that certainly carries the wow factor but still retains its primary duty as a wonderful lathering tool.

The Astor approximate brush specifications:

Overall brush height - 105mm

Knot loft - 48mm

Handle height - 57mm

Knot diameter - 21mm
