The base of Simpson’s Emperor (here, the 3 Super), like the brushes in the two previous posts, ends in a knob, but the top is different — the Emperor sets the knot into a kind of modified Persian Jar top shape, a shape that use for quite a few of their brushes (though not all — the Milk Churn doesn’t share the shape, for example). The knot here is of a generous size, and it did a good job with Van Yulay’s Achilles shaving soap, a soap that is getting very low now.
This RazoRock Game Changer is the original, the .68-P, and it delivers a comfortable and efficient shave. After a final rinse and dry, a splash of Achilles aftershave finished the job and brightened the day.
