Nyldachs acrylic black

Vegan shaving brush with nylon badger (24mm ring diameter)

Very soft, high-lathering synthetic hair (special nylon) with a silvertip badger look. Very soft, actually easily confused with silvertip badger hair. Solid black acrylic (Plexiglas) handle.

Producing synthetic "badger" hair isn't all that easy. Real badger hair is very soft, can retain water between the badger hairs without allowing it to penetrate the hair itself, and thus remains just as elastic even when wet. They have now succeeded in producing synthetic hair that is just as soft as real badger plucked hair. It even surpasses the black "pure badger" quality. While the synthetic hair doesn't retain as optimal elasticity when wet as real badger hair, it lathers up shaving soap excellently and can thus surpass, if not the real badger brush, then at least the hog-bristle shaving brush in terms of use and appearance.

The production of the synthetic badger head is quite complex – the actual handcrafting of the head itself is identical to that of a real badger head. A key advantage is the theoretically unlimited availability of the material and the fact that it makes a caring and thorough wet shave with a brush and shaving soap available to vegans and those who do not want or are not allowed to use animal products for religious or ethical reasons.
