A very affordable, high-quality shaving brush with a handle made of genuine, natural red cedarwood. The wood is made waterproof and shiny simply by polishing with beeswax. The brush head, made of our nylon badger, is very soft at the tips and visually almost indistinguishable from genuine silvertip badger hair.
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 a synthetic hair that is just as soft as genuine badger plucked hair. It even surpasses the black "pure badger" quality. While the synthetic hair doesn't retain the same elasticity when wet as genuine badger hair, it lathers up shaving soap excellently and can thus surpass, if not the genuine 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.

Ring diameter: 24 mm
