Badger hair provides a luxurious shave, holding water and heat much better than synthetic brushes. Premium silvertip badger hair is of superior quality and has an extra soft feel.  The beautiful silver and black lines lend to the overall aesthetics of this brush. Using a brush lifts the hairs on your face for a closer shave, so you may notice less irritation. Best combined with naturally-derived solid shaving soaps or shaving creams, avoiding synthetic foams and gels for the highest quality shave.
