Badger Qualities
The various grades of badger hair
Every practice has its perfect tool, so does the shave. In practice, boar bristles, hog´s bristles and badger bristles are the common hair for a shaving brush. In addition, there are also synthetic bristles. Badger hair shaving brushes, however, display the best and most comfortable features. Badger hair is very soft, 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 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.

2-Band Bager hair
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. There are Silvertip 2-Band and Silvertip D01 2-Band. |
