DESCRIPTION :

Black badger features the same quality of hair as our pure badger, but features only the darkest badger

hair. Featuring only dark black badger hair, our black badger brushes represent a great option for a new

wet shaver or those on a budget.

While many will deride black badger as being the second lowest grade of badger hair, black badger is

actually quite soft on the skin. Just like pure badger. Pure badger features slightly more backbone than

pure as the hairs are slightly thicker. Black badger comes from the Manchurian Badger.

The face feel of black badger is actually quite soft. Similar to unbroken in boar, black badger feels very

similar to pure badger, but with more backbone.

The Badger Hair Shaving Brush

Here is something dad may have not taught you when it comes to 

shaving: A high-quality badger hair shaving brush is the single most 

important component in getting the absolute smoothest shave possible. 

Dad may not be completely at fault - blame it on his generation. Men 

have been using shaving brushes for over 150 years. However, during 

the late 1960s, when social and political issues took center stage and 

nearly everyone had a cause to champion, men did away with the 

traditional brush and women threw out their bras. In my opinion, this 

became the "de- volution" of grooming. Shortly thereafter, disposable 

razors and foam aerosol shave cream replaced high quality shaving 

soaps, double -edge razors, and the shave brush.

Thankfully, during the past 15 years, there has been a major shift 

regarding the use of grooming tools in the US. Guys as young as 17 are 

now using a shaving brush on a daily basis. It is no longer viewed as 

something your grandpa shaves with; instead it has become a modern 

man's essential grooming tool.

A high-quality shaving brush is the most effective way to guarantee a 

smooth, painless shave. The bristles gently exfoliates the skin, which 

removes anything coming between your whiskers and the razor. As you 

sweep the brush in a circular motion over your face, the bristles lift 

the hair up and away from the skin allowing for the closest shave 

possible without common shaving issues such as razor burns and bumps.

However, not all shaving brushes are created equal. After spending 

over 25 years in the industry, I've come to rely exclusively on 

brushes made of badger hair. Yes, there are less expensive, synthetic 

versions available, but badger hair is the only type of hair that 

retains water and using warm water is the professional barber's secret 

to a great shave. The combination of hot water mixing with the shave 

cream and the brush, results in a thicker, richer, more emollient 

lather that's impossible to get with your fingers alone.
