This is a hand turned wood handle shaving brush. The handle is made from Macassar Ebony wood. Macassar Ebony has been a favourite amongst wood workers for centuries. It is among the rarest and most highly prized woods available. The handle has a deep dark brown colour. The handle also has brass inlays to accentuate the grain pattern
Hand made by a master wood turner, the finish is tough and water resistant. (We recommend giving the handle a rub with Woodoc wax olish every now and again to keep the hard wax coating from becoming dull).
Brush:
- The brush has a premium quality three band silver tip 100% badger hair knot.
- The silver tip badger knots are known for super soft luxurious feel
- The brush knot is bulb shaped
How to use:
Shaving with a safety razor requires a little practice. The skin also needs some time to grow accustomed to the shave. Getting started will be easier if you follow these instructions:
Moisten the beard area, preferably with warm water, and lather it thoroughly with a brush. The longer you lather the beard, the more easily and gently the hairs can be cut. If possible, use a highly effective moisturising shaving cream or soap as this will allow the blade to slide over the skin more easily. Make sure that the shaving head and handle are firmly attached to each other, but only tighten the screw to the extent that it can be unscrewed without too much effort. This ensures that the blade rests at the correct angle. Now begin with the shave. Hold the safety razor at an obtuse angle (approx. 30°) to the skin. Start with the cheeks and allow the razor to slide over the skin, applying gentle pressure. Always shave in the direction of the beard growth (with the grain). When shaving the neck, stretch the skin tight with your free hand. Do not be discouraged by small cuts or grazes. Once you have familiarised yourself with the razor, they will rarely occur.
