Choosing a shaving brush especially for those new to wet shaving or as a gift can seem a little bit bewildering. You may find it helpful to refer to the table and following information below to determine the type of shaving brush you require.

Quick Guide to the hair used in Badger and Bristle Shaving Brushes

Silver Tip: The highest quality Badger Brush. Hand graded using rare and finely graded, untrimmed, natural, silver tipped Badger Hair. This Brush will provide years of luxurious shaving.Will produce the ultimate shave.

Super Badger: This high quality grade of hair is only used in hand filled brushes. The hair is from the back of the badger and presents a distinctive dark band  in the natural fan shape of the brush. This hair has superior water retention qualities and is generally softer than the Best Badger brush. Used with a quality shaving cream will produce a superior shave.

Best Badger: This grade of brush is generally accepted as being the benchmark standard of shaving brush manufacturers. Hair is used from the pelt including the belly. Great for exfoliating the skin during the shaving process. A high quality brush which will give years of service. Recommended for new shavers for a quality shaving experience.

Pure Badger. Normally greyer in colour than best badger, produces a fine lather when used with a quality shaving cream. A slightly firmer feel but far superior in quality to bristle hair.

Pure Bristle Hair is taken from Hogs and is favoured by those wet shavers who prefer a stiffer feel to the brush. The bristle comes in a variety of textures from the very stiff grey through to brown and slightly softer bleached white.

There has of late been a great resurgence in the use of traditional shaving products, especially the “old fashioned” shaving brush, the recommended implement for applying shaving cream to your face.

There are several types of shaving brush available each utilising different grades of badger hair or bristle. See our Quick Hair Type Guide below

The key advantage of using  a  Badger Hair Shaving Brush is its water absorbency. The fine tips on the Badger Hair, retaining moisture, will help to provide a rich creamy lather, essential for a good shave. Cream shaving is also an excellent way of exfoliating the face, removing dead skin cells thus preventing pore clogging.

How to look after your Shaving Brush

A badger shaving brush is a natural product and with careful attention should provide 10-15 years use.

Wet your shaving brush thoroughly before use, dip the tip into the shaving cream or soap and lather gently using a circular motion. Apply lightly to the face , being careful not to cause splaying of the brush hairs.

After shaving, rinse your brush thoroughly with clean water, not too hot, shake off the excess water and place your shaving brush in a stand with the hairs facing downwards. Natural hair that is left wet will cause mildew and hair deterioration. If affected by mildew or a build up of soap soak in a solution of Borax to cleanse.

Do you want to know which shaving brush fits which shaving brush stand? The table below will help.

The Shaving Stand codes are shown across the top, whilst the shaving brush codes are shown down the left side.

Note: In most cases the brush will sit in the stand as illustrated below in position B.
