When selecting a badger brush for shaving, consumers have many different options. Some brushes are better quality than other brushes but the grade designations vary according to brand. Each classification has its own unique characteristics and advantages. Pure hair brushes are easy to find and the least expensive because the hair comes from many parts of the animal's body. The hair is coarse and the manufacturer trims the tips to obtain the right shape. The blunt tips exfoliate the skin and are useful for lathering soap. Best grade hair comes from the belly and other large areas of the animal. The hair is light brown to gray and it absorbs water better than pure grade hair. The texture is softer and creates quality lather with denser creams that need more water. Super grade hair is soft and comes from the animal's back. The hairs feature a black band around the midsection and a short white tip. Manufacturers do not trim the tips and more hairs are required because they are thin. Super brushes absorb more water than lower grades and make the creamiest lather. Silvertip is the highest grade of hair available. It is also the rarest because it grows only on the neck. The water absorbing properties are superior to other grades and it is extremely fine. These brushes feel soft on the face and massage the lather onto the skin's surface. Silvertip brushes are the most expensive and are scarce. Some manufacturers offer special grades, including the fine and two-band options. The bristles are firm and make a stiff, dense brush that many wet shavers prefer. Since a quality badger shave brush is typically handmade, consumers will find variations within each category. Regardless of hair type, most shaving enthusiasts prefer badger brushes over other options, including boar hair and synthetic bristles.
