Badger hair is different from many other types of fur. Just like human hair, badger hair naturally absorbs water, while most other fur repels water. It is this attribute that makes the badger the ultimate choice for shaving brushes.
Why do we recommend using a shaving brush?
A shaving brush made of badger hair absorbs hot water better than any other brush material. Hot water is the key to a great shave and the more water a shaving brush can hold and transfer to your face, the better the foam and the shave.
A good shaving brush used with a good quality shaving cream or soap creates hot, rich and creamy foam that is impossible to achieve in a can.
When using a shaving brush, the skin gets cleansed and exfoliated, as opposed to when applying the foam with the dabbing motion of your fingers. Therefore, the risk for “in growing” hairs and shaving spots decreases dramatically.
A shaving brush helps to soften and lift each whisker and prepare the beard for the razor blade.
Using a good quality shaving brush will take your shaving experience to unexpected highs. Don’t forget about yourself in the stress of everyday life!

Shave gel or shave cream - which should you actually choose? If you have an abundant beard and want a clean shave then shave cream is to be preferred. Whilst those of you who have a tidy beard with straight lines that need to be shaven to perfection will find a gel works best as you can see through the product and get a neat, carefully planned result.
