These "Super" Badger Bristle shaving brushes are filled with the highest quality, hand-graded badger hair from the badger species Meles Meles (a sustainable source). Badger hair has been used for more than two centuries to make the finest shaving brushes. Rather than repelling water, the hair absorbs it and, when combined with a good-quality shaving cream or soap, produces a rich shaving lather. With the circular lathering motion, the fine tips of badger hair lift and soften the beard to create a smooth, creamy shaving lather. Then, cleanse and massage the face gently, resulting in a comfortable shave. Using a badger shaving brush in the daily shaving routine will enhance the shave quality, improve facial skin appearance and promote a genuine feel good factor.
