Setup

Before first use, and for each subsequent shave, proper preparation of your shaving brush is essential for optimal performance and longevity.

1. Initial Rinse: Upon receiving your new brush, rinse it thoroughly under lukewarm water. This helps to remove any loose hairs or manufacturing residues.
2. Soaking the Bristles: Before each shave, soak the brush bristles in warm (not hot) water for 1-2 minutes. This allows the badger hair to absorb water, making it softer and more pliable, which is crucial for creating a rich lather and protecting the bristles. Ensure only the bristles are submerged, not the handle, to prevent water damage to the handle material.
3. Shake Off Excess Water: Gently shake off any excessive water from the brush after soaking. The bristles should be damp, not dripping wet.

Using your Simpsons Chubby 2 Super Shaving Brush effectively will enhance your shaving experience. Follow these steps to create a rich, luxurious lather:

1. Loading the Brush: Gently swirl the damp brush hairs over the surface of your shaving soap or cream. Apply light pressure to ensure the bristles pick up enough product. Continue swirling until a creamy paste forms on the tips of the bristles.
2. Lathering:
   • Face Lathering: Apply the brush directly to your wet face and use circular motions to work the soap into a rich, thick lather. Add a few drops of water to the brush if the lather is too dry or thick.
   • Bowl Lathering: Transfer the loaded brush to a shaving bowl. Add a few drops of water and begin swirling the brush in the bowl. Gradually add small amounts of water (a few drops at a time) while continuing to swirl until the desired consistency of thick, creamy lather is achieved.
3. Application: Once a satisfactory lather is formed, apply it evenly to the areas to be shaved using gentle painting or circular motions. The dense bristles of the Chubby 2 are excellent for lifting beard hairs and exfoliating the skin.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care is crucial for preserving the quality and extending the lifespan of your Simpsons shaving brush. Adhere to these guidelines:

• Rinsing After Use: Immediately after each shave, thoroughly rinse the brush under cool, running water. Ensure all soap residue is removed from the bristles and the base of the knot. Residual soap can degrade the hair over time.
• Gentle Squeeze: Gently squeeze the bristles to remove excess water. Avoid twisting or pulling the hairs, which can damage the knot.
• Drying:
  • Hang the brush upside down in a shaving brush stand. This allows water to drain away from the knot, preventing moisture from accumulating at the base, which can weaken the adhesive and lead to hair loss.
  • Ensure the brush is completely dry before storing it in an enclosed space. Due to its density, the Chubby 2 may take more than 24 hours to fully dry. It is recommended to allow ample drying time, especially if rotating between brushes.
• Storage: Store your brush in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents or chemicals to clean your brush, as these can damage the natural badger hair.
