Badger Qualities

The various grades of badger hair

Every practice has its perfect tool, so does the shave. In practice, boar bristles and badger bristles in various grades are the favored hair for a shaving brush. In addition, there are also hog´s bristles as well as synthetic bristles. Badger hair shaving brushes, however, display the best and most comfortable features. Badger hair is very soft and flexible and gives a very comfortable feel on the skin. It is able to retain plenty of water needed yet remains firm and flexible when wet. In addition, badger hair shaving brushes create - in combination with a good shaving soap - an outstandingly creamy and dense lather. Furthermore, a badger hair shaving brush is distinguished by its durability.

Shavemac´s range of products are exclusively badger hair shaving brushes!

  

Pure badger hair

Pure badger hair has a color pattern of dark gray and is very sturdy. It already combines the distinctive lathering features of all badger hair bristles and the ability to retain plenty of water.

Due to the hair´s sturdiness, pure badger hair brushes are ideal for people who favor a good massage. At the same time, they offer a reasonably prized opportunity to start with a premium quality shaving brush.

Shavemac uses only the best quality of pure badger hair. The hair of our shaving brush has always its natural tips, which - still intact -add to a longer durability. The hair tips are not trimmed.



  

Finest badger hair

The quality of fine badger hair is nearly as good as that of the silvertip badger hair. Not only does fine badger hair give a soft and comfortable shave, this grade is priced very reasonably as well.

The hand made heads of this quality are very soft and display the manufacturing expertise.


 

Silvertip badger hair

Silvertip badger hair is extremely soft. It also features its distinctive and unique color pattern: a slightly silver shimmering color with a dark band.

Not only is the perceptible high quality a hallmark of silvertip shaving brushes, they are also unique because of their high durability.

Shavemac uses nothing but the finest silvertip badger hair for the manufacuring of these premium quality shaving brushes.

 


 

Silvertip D01

This silvertip shaving brush is made of extra robust hair and is densely packed. Thus the form of the brush stays very compact and keeps in shape. These shaving brushes have a “backbone” and massage very softly yet firmly your face.
 

Silvertip D01 2-Band

In contrast to the usually 3-band hair, consisting of light-dark-light sections, the 2-band shaving brush has only silver shimmering tips and a long dark section down to the handle. To achieve this effect, you need specially long badger hair as only these do have the appropriate long sections. These long hair are in addition very dense and firm creating a uniquely sturdy shaving brush.

As most of the badger hair parts are lost - the end of the badger hair and not the tip is trimmed to its final length - more weight in hair is needed.Therefore this brush is more expensive. Furthermore, these long hair are very rare and are not always available.


Distinctive features are:

- different appearance

- perceptively stronger hair
