If you have been reading our blog so far, we’ve covered the essentials about shaving creams and about razors. Now it is time to tell you more about shaving brushes. Hopefully someone gave you a badger hair brush during the holidays (or at least an êShave gift certificate to get one!!), but if you haven’t gotten one, it is now time for you to choose and treat you with your own.
A lot of people think that a using a brush is going to make them spend more time shaving, but if you use the right products and a good brush, you will end up shaving better and faster! The brush will give you a light exfoliation and raise your hair away from you face to allow closer shave.
There are different grades of badger hair. Among these kinds, there are:
- Genuine Badger Hair: This kind of hair is in the lower tier of the badger hair pyramid. It is perfect for skeptics that want to try the product before they commit to a new shaving regime.
- Fine Badger Hair: This is a good, standard quality brush. The hair is soft and elastic when it gets wet and provides the skin with a light exfoliation. It will remain in good condition between 3 to 5 years as long as you take care of it, which mainly means: hanging it upside down!
- Finest Badger Hair: This kind of hair is even more elastic, and thanks to the fact that it is finer, the seal that holds the hair will contain more badger hair in it, which means you will get a better exfoliation because now you have more, finer hairs going through your pores as you apply the cream. It will keep its shape between seven to ten years.
- Silvertip Badger Hair: Do you deserve a Rolls Royce?!?! If you think you do, then you must also deserve a Silvertip Brush too. It is the best of the best. When I used this for the first time, I truly thought “This must be what it feels to frolic around in heaven!†It is so soft you just want to keep on lathering up. These kinds of brush will last 15 to 20 years if you take care of it. It is truly awesome. And it ends up being the best value.
To use it, all you need to do is wet it with hot water, dab it directly in the shaving cream, and lather it up directly on your face by applying pressure with a circular motion. It’s that easy. You will be ready to get the best shave within seconds and afterwards you will be so smoothest, softest and most nourished skin you have had in a while.
