Synthetic shaving brush with handle

Product description

If you are new to the traditional wet shaving industry and not quite sure where to begin with it, our Shaving Brush, have a great guide to get you started.

Here is the features:

Cost Effective
Compared to similar Animal Hair products, synthetic Shaving Brushes are relatively inexpensive. Yes some good quality ones will cost a little more, but even these can be up to a third of the price as their animal hair cousins.

Good Lather
Gents that have used both natural & synthetic brushes more often than not maintain that lather is released quicker & easier than natural brushes.

Less Hair Loss
Although I really like my badger brushes, the lesser quality (and even some more expensive) ones lose more hair than I do! ?? Now I’m not saying that all animal brushes will lose a tonne of hair, but in general, synthetic brushes tend to better retain their bristles.

Non-Allergenic
Sadly, some people have an allergic reaction to animal hair. Some of these can be severe. Although you can have an allergy to synthetic fibre, it’s less likely.

No Animal Smell
A common complaint about animal hair Shaving brushes is the odour. When they’re new, the smell can be strong, and take some time to go. There are techniques however that can thankfully help remove the odour a little quicker.

Long Life Span
If well maintained, a good Animal Hair Shaving Brush can last a long long time. However, like all natural material, they will break down after a while after a period of time. Synthetic fibre is extremely resilient to wear & tear & will have a tendency to last longer than its animal counterpart.

No Animal Cruelty
No, manufacturers don’t calmly wait around for badgers to gently shed their hair. Mainly sourced from China, they are caught & killed so their fur can be harvested. Before you ask, no I’m not a greenie, but if you have strong concerns about animal welfare, synthetic brushes are the way to go.

Consistency
You know what you’ll get. Not that many people buy brush after brush; but if you were to purchase 2 of the same Synthetic Shaving Brush, they will feel identical. In saying that, part of the mystique & attraction of animal brushes is that unknown variation of texture & performance.

More Hygienic
Generally speaking, microbes have a far easier time attaching themselves to organic material. Whereas synthetic fibres are less hospitable to nasties.

Faster Preparation
Synthetic brushes don’t retain moisture like natural fibre, therefore don’t require soaking prior to use.

Faster Drying
For much the same reason as the above point, because animal hair brushes hold water better, they take a lot longer to dry out than synthetic brushes.

Low Maintenance
Badger & other animal hair brushes need a bit of TLC from time to time so they stay fresh & smelling pretty (mine sure do). Due to the nature of synthetic brushes, their bristles can in most part get away with a quick rinse to keep in top condition.
