Brush Notes

These brushes were manufactured with the finest Asian silver tip badger available.  Many people don’t understand but the vast majority of badger hair used in name brand shaving brushes is actually Asian badger where they are farmed specifically for this purpose.  When we had these brushes made for ShavingShop.com we asked for the absolute best quality silver tip badger they could muster.  These brushes have 25mm knots (what the accumulated and bound badger head is called and measured at the base which is inserted into the brush handle).  The handles of these brushes are black or white resin with a heavy nickel plated brass base.  Compare these brushes to Mühle Nr. 93 K44 Sophist and Heinrich Thater 4125 series brushes - both at more than twice the price.  

These brushes have been gamma ray sterilized for your sanitary protection and piece-of-mind.  Your brush will arrive in a stylish gift box suitable for any gift giving occasion.

Face feel is *very* nice; a wee bit more backbone would be welcome. I find it unbalanced, though, with too much weight in the base for comfortable face lathering (and stability if placed bulb-down in a shallow bowl).
