We recommend badger hair shave brushes for the most enjoyable shave and best results. Badger brushes are softer than many other materials & have the ability to retain more water than other hair types. Key Features: 100% Natural Badger hair. Generates a rich and warm lather by whipping air into shaving cream or soap. Adds heat to the skin during the shaving process, helping to open pores and lubricate the skin. Gently exfoliates the surface of the skin to rid it of dead cells.
