If razors are the most important tools in a wet shaving kit, then men's shaving brushes come next in line. For a successful wet shave you need a good lather—either soap or cream—and your shaving brush will help you to achieve that. A shaving brush helps to mix the water and the cream into lather. The bristles also help to exfoliate any dead skin cells from your face and gently lift the hairs in preparation for the razor. Not all brushes are the same, so try a few until you find the brush that works best for you. Badger Hair The most common shaving brush material is badger hair. Badger hair absorbs water well, allowing it to effectively mix hot water and the soap into lather, and the bristles are soft, so they don’t aggravate your skin. Even among the brushes made of badger hair, there is a lot of variation. The silver tip brushes are particularly soft because they are made with hair from a badger’s neck. A pure badger brush is usually darker and has a stiffer bristle. Synthetic If the idea of using animal fur is not appealing to you, or you simply are in the market for a cheaper product, consider a shaving brush made from synthetic materials. These brushes are often made from nylon and the bristles are usually slightly firmer than the badger hair brushes. While the synthetic bristles might not lather as well, the brushes are usually significantly cheaper. Other Besides variety in material, men’s shaving brushes come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Try a wide brush with a thin handle, or try an electric brush that oscillates to lather the cream and apply it to your face. Handles come in various materials including wood and plastic, and in a variety of colors.
