It is made of 100% Synthetic, Imitation Badger, which is dyed to resemble genuine badger hair.

Our Synthetic, Imitation Badger Shaving Brush is made of nylon which has been dyed to give it the look of genuine badger hair. Surprisingly, the feel and performance of this brush is very close to some Silvertip badger brushes we have sold. It is a fairly resilient brush and the tips are soft. It works equally well with both soaps and creams.

Made of 100% pure synthetic materials. Ultra soft ends, but firm enough core bristles to make a great lather. These brushes rival and yield better results than most badger hair versions.

The handles are just as amazing as the bristle. Made with wood these handles always receive high praise.

As another added bonus of utilizing a synthetic brush you can take comfort in the fact that your product has not contributed to animal cruelty.

How to Use a Shaving Brush

Fill the sink with hot water, dip or leave the brush in it until the bristle hairs are thoroughly soaked with hot water and then remove the brush; alternatively, hold the brush under a hot running faucet. Do not tap too much excess water off the brush. The point is for the bristles to retain as much water as possible so it can keep your face hydrated and protected during the shaving process. With circular motions, run the bristles over the soap to generate lather. The longer you whisk, the richer the lather, and the more protection it provides to the skin. Twenty seconds should do.

If you are using a lathering cream instead of soap, wet the tip of the shaving brush slightly, open the center of the brush, and place two fingertips‘ worth of cream into the center of the brush. Close up the tip and submerge it in hot water for about twenty seconds. Remove from the water and begin lathering. If you feel you need more water during shaving, dip the tip of the brush in water and flick it gently to removing excess, if necessary.

Once the brush is on your face, it‘s important to use just the right amount of pressure. Too much can cause bristles to flatten on your face, which flattens whiskers, to little won‘t provide enough friction for a good lather.
