Has anyone tried to shave with a simpsons 'sampson'?

[matt31]

I have been looking on diamond edge at the sampson and it says for display purposes ONLY and that if you tried to use one, it would be 'uncontrollable with lather everywhere'

Just wondered if anyone has any input?

No but I had a Kent BK12. That was pretty silly, four strokes and you are done. Lathering that is. :roll:

I have this beast:

The Polo 14

A huge expensive brush bought only to include in my shaving brush blog. Big as it is, it does actually perform but it's not a brush i would enjoy using regularly.

This has a loft of 57mm.

The Samson has pure badger hair with a loft of 90 mm.

I would think it best deployed on painting walls rather than your face!

No, but I just ordered one with the intent of giving it a try! Will post pics when it arrives (which could be a while as I reside in Australia and it's coming from the US).

You would not consider posting on You Tube, would you? :lol:

My new Samson arrived yesterday (along with an Astor (no.20) and a Rooney Alibaba 2, both 2nd hand), now do I have the courage to use it....?
Of course I do, pics of it in use soon...
