If you’ve never used Shave brushes before then you are in for a treat. There is just something so manly about the tool. A quality brush will be designed to fit against the palm of your hand as you work. You may want to handle several before you decide which grip works for you. Here are a few tips and pointers for choosing a brush that will last for years to come. Brush Color Brush color doesn’t refer to the grip; it refers to the bristles. The highest-quality and most sought-after brushes are made from badger hair. Badgers are on the no-hunt list in the United States so all badger hair is imported. The areas that bring in the most badger hair are those where the badgers are considered pests and overrun the countryside. They harass the local farmers and destroy crops. The different colored hairs on the brush are from the different parts of the hide. Black badger brushes are the best because the hair will hold in the moisture while you shave and help your lather to stay thicker, longer. Brush Handle Your brush handle is a matter of personal preference. They are generally made so you can cup them in your hand or hold on to the edge with your fingertips as you work. Use your brush in a circular motion to pull any hair up and away from the skin. This will make for a closer and more accurate cut. Be sure to set your brush to dry completely. It should hang upside down so that water can drip out. It’s a good idea to wash the brush with shave soap before using it the first time. On the first use, some hair will come loose. This is perfectly normal. With proper care, shave brushes can last up to 30 years. The Art of Shaving manufactures and handcrafts each shaving brush using only the finest badger hair available. All of our brush handles are designed for elegance and durability, as well as for their comfortable shape. For more information about Shave brushes, Contact us today!
