Shave Brush

The Badger Shaving Brush

by Edwin Jagger

Quality shaving brushes are filled with the finest grades of badger hair, particularly well suited to shaving with traditional shaving soaps and creams.

Prior to their first use, a new shaving brush should be washed well using warm soapy water. After daily use, rinse the shaving brush under clean, warm water. To dry, place the shaving brush in its holder with the bristles facing down. Allow the shaving brush to dry thoroughly before storing, as wet and damp may damage the bristles.

Silver-Tip Badger Shaving Brush

The softest, rarest and most expensive badger hair shaving brush with natural untrimmed silver tips is the highest quality available in shaving brushes worldwide. The pure colouring of this hair, enhanced by careful hand grading and filling, originates from the neck of the animal. The shape of our silver tip filled shaving brush is created by hand not trimming. The long hair is ultra soft and very flexible guaranteeing the most discerning wet shaver many years of luxurious shaving.

Super Badger Shaving Brush

This is a very high quality grade of badger hair, only used in a hand filled shaving brush. Visually, the badger bundle displays a distinctive black band capped with pure white tips and is presented in a natural fan shape, using the natural hair end to create the shape. The shape of Edwin Jagger Super Badger filled brushes is created by hand and is not trimmed to create the overall badger bundle shape, which is a time saving method used by many other suppliers. Therefore we can guarantee our Super Badger shaving brush is very soft due to the fact that the naturally tapering tips of the hair have not been removed. Super Badger shaving brush is extremely soft and flexible and will guarantee the wet shaver many years of shaving.

Best Badger Shaving Brush

This is a good quality of pure badger hair, machine graded for machine filled brushes. It is normally regarded as the benchmark standard of shaving brush manufacturers. The white/brown colour in our shaving brush indicates an above average standard and also confirms that the mixture of hair is very pure. The hair is stiffer to the touch and is always very popular with wet shavers who use their brush to exfoliate their skin at the same time as preparing it for shaving. Our standard of Best Badger shaving brush will also last many years and is presented with a natural tapered shape.

How a Shaving Brush is Made

The average brush will contain approximately 14000 hairs, weighted precisely to fit the securing ring that holds the brush together.  The manufacturing process is highly skilled and most of the work is done by hand using traditional tools.

The bundle of hair is combed to remove any hairs not lying straight. The hairs are then placed tip-first into a heavy metal forming block which has a concave interior to give it the distinctive dome shape of a quality brush. The end of the brush is tied securely with strong thread and then glued into a ring. This fixes the hairs in the finished shape of the brush.

The base or the shaft-end of the hairs are sheared off (the tips are never cut as is the fine tips that give the softness in a brush of true quality). The clamped bundle is then carefully cemented into the chosen brush handle, creating a luxurious toll that will last for many years.

How to Look After Your Shaving Brush

A badger shaving brush is a natural product that with loving care should last ten to fifteen years. when you get a new brush it is quite natural for a few lose hairs to come away from the brush in the first few weeks; these are shorter hairs that did not quite reach the glue base and this should not be a cause for concern.

Wet your brush throughly before use, dip the tip of the brush into the shaving cream or soap and lather gently using a light circular or up and down motion; when applying the shaving cream or soap do not apply too much pressure, causing the badger hair to splay.

After shaving rinse the brush gently but throughly in clean water, flick the excess water away and place the brush in a stand  with the hair pointing down. If you do not have a stand, leave the brush pointing out rather than horizontal, so that air can get to all hairs and dry the brush naturally.

Natural hair that is left wet can develop mildew; try to avoid enclosing a wet brush in a too small space. If you keep it in the bathroom cabinet make sure that it has sufficient space to dry. If you shave away from home and keep your shaving brush in a travel tube or kit bag, give it an opportunity to dry as soon as you can. If your brush becomes affected by mildew or a build up soap, soak it in a solution of Borax, which can be obtained from a pharmacy.
