Simpsons Duke D2 – The Versatile Mid-Size Icon

The Simpsons Duke D2 is the highly sought-after middle brother in the legendary Duke trilogy. Hand-knotted on the Isle of Man, it features a 22mm Best Badger knot that many enthusiasts consider the "Goldilocks" of the range—offering more presence than the D1, yet providing more surgical precision than the larger D3. It is a brush designed for the shaver who demands elite performance in a perfectly balanced frame.

The Excellence of Best Badger Hair

• Perfect Backbone & Softness: The Best Badger hair grade is celebrated for its versatility. It provides the firm backbone required to load hard soaps effortlessly, while the tips remain soft and comfortable for daily face lathering.
• Exceptional Heat Retention: Natural badger fibers absorb and hold significant warmth and moisture, ensuring your lather stays at the ideal temperature throughout your three-pass shave.
• Hand-Tied Density: Each D2 knot is hand-formed by master artisans to ensure a dense, resilient head that effectively lifts facial hair and exfoliates the skin for a closer result.

The Classic Duke Ergonomics

• Stout & Secure Grip: The D2 features the famous "chunky" Duke handle, providing a substantial feel in the palm despite its mid-sized dimensions. It offers total control, especially when building lather directly on the face.
• Heritage Faux Ivory: Lathe-turned from premium resin and hand-polished, the handle is emblazoned with the iconic Simpsons logo—a hallmark of British grooming excellence since 1919.
• Artisan Longevity: Built to the highest standards of English craftsmanship, the D2 is a durable tool that will provide decades of service with proper care.
