WANTED: Wee Scot's big brother.

So I purchased a tiny Wee Scot and he is truly amazing, I love the light bit of Scritch and he lathers up soaps and creams both superbly. That being said which of the Simpsons line-up would be his closest all-grown-up kin?

I promise I have done my Googlin' and I've seen quite a few comparison shots for size but none really speak of handle/knot similarities.

Thank you in advance!

The Simpson's Case might be what you're looking for. It too has a bit of scritch and lathers like a champ.

Hah! That one needs a new knot!

So do I

The Case looks great, good backbone?

I really enjoy face lathering with the Case. For me, it has better backbone than both my Simpson's Berkley, 46, and my Classic 1. On my face they both felt a bit floppy when compared to the Case.

Agreed, Case. But also check out the Special.

This nails it, IMO. I use the Case exclusively as a travel brush and I really enjoy it. I also have the Berkley, which is another excellent brush, but I agree, the Case seems to have more backbone when face lathering.

I also use a Case as a travel brush. It punches way above its weight. But it doesn't hold as much lather as a bigger brush. To me, it works best for face lathering with a stick. It's also fine with thick creams like Speick or Musgo Real. With thinner creams like KMF, I need to use a lot of product to get my three passes.

Duke 1

Got the Duke on my short list.

Duke 1

The Simpsons have good family genes. Each of mine are versatile lather tools, but the chubby is probably the densest.

I've never seen the Case brush before, I really like its profile.

The B&B community will never chide you for a lack of Google Fu... Just ask away any question you may have.

I would second the Case as your answer.

I picked up a case and duke 3 on BST Sunday and am waiting for delivery. They should be here on Wednesday and I cant wait to give em a try.

The Duke 1 is another excellent recommendation, but for the examples I own, my Duke 1 is far larger than my Case.

I think I'll give the Case a shot first, next time I'm in Chicago I'll take a better look at the other sizes. I've got the Omega 49 and whoa boy maybe I'm just a little guy but I can't see my head when I'm trying to brush! Just want to make sure it's not too huge, thanks!

+1 The Case is a great little brush and can truly be considered the closest big-brother for the Wee Scot. Even the handle shape is very similar.
