Shaving Brush – Super Silver

Even among shaving brushes made with the hair plucked from a badger’s back, silver-tip hair is a valuable rarity. The hair in this brush comes from badgers from the Chinese highlands with a very dense fur. It is extremely fine, but strong at the same time and thus serves its purpose of lathering up shaving soap particularly well. The badgers which produce the hair for this shaving brush have their habitat in mountains over 9000 feet high. Their fur is even denser and their hair even finer and stronger than that of their relations who live a little lower down. In an extremely thorough selection process, even the darker silver tips are rejected. These shaving brushes are elaborately made by hand, with the longest job being that of removing the hair which has no light or silver tip. Made in Germany.

SILVER TIP BADGER – This is the finest Badger hair available in the manufacture of shaving brushes and it originates from the neck of the animal. Its limited availability gives the badger hair special status amongst the shaving fraternity, indeed some would deem it the Holy Grail. The hair is untreated and comes in its natural state, shaped by the hand and left un-trimmed to give an exceptionally soft feel. A “flared” bristle load gives results in the ‘silvertip’ brush’s fluffy appearance and lends the brush its ability to hold a large amount of water. Due to its water retention capacity, a ‘silvertip’ brush can create well-formed shaving lather quickly and easily.
Many shaving enthusiasts will use nothing other than silvertip. Silvertip Badger is best for those with sensitive skin because of their super soft bristles.
