*About Shaving Brushes
The quality of your shaving experience will depend, in part, on the quality of your shaving brush. Lather is created by whipping air and warm water into the shaving soap to produce a fine lather -- finer bristles = finer lather; more bristles = more lather. Shaving brushes come in different grades. Badger bristles are the finest, followed by boar, followed (way down) by nylon. A quality shaving brush, cared for properly, will last 10-20 years; it makes sense to buy the best quality that you can afford.

Silvertip Badger
  • The Cadillac of shaving brushes. They are made from the softest and finest hair and produce the richest and finest lather. Silvertip badger brushes range in price from expensive to outrageously expensive depending on the size of the knot and the composition of the handle.
  • If you are planning to buy a Silvertip Badger brush, make sure that you are buying from a reputable distributor. Some suppliers bleach the tips of Pure Badger bristles and sell them as Silvertip Badger. If you are buying on-line, or have limited experience with shaving brushes, you could end up paying Silvertip prices for Pure quality.
Best Badger
  • These bristles are taken from the soft, fine, bristles on the top of the badger. They are naturally tapered resulting in a pleasant, comfortable shave. Since the bristles are so fine, there are significantly more bristles in a Best Badger brush than a Pure Badger brush thereby allowing the brush to hold more water and produce a finer lather.
  • Since the bristles are a little coarser than Silvertip, these brushes exfoliate better and are a good choice for men who have a moderate problem with ingrown hairs.
Pure Badger
  • These bristles are taken from the underside of the badger. They are the coarsest and the bristles are often trimmed to give the brush a pleasant rounded shape. As a result, the tips of the bristles can be squared off and a little rough against the skin.
  • If you have a significant problem with ingrown hair, the added coarseness of a Pure Badger brush will help exfoliate the skin and raise ingrown hairs.
  • This is the least expensive badger option, but a Pure Badger brush will still provide an excellent lather and a superior shaving experience
Boar Bristle
  • These bristles are a little rough and may have a funky / unpleasant smell when wet.
  • Boar bristles are thicker than badger and the brushes usually have a much lower bristle count, so they produce less lather, and the lather is not as thick and rich as the lather produced by a badger brush
  • They are cheaper than Badger bristle brushes
Nylon
  • Only if you must. Nylon shaving brushes are appropriate for vegans, but are a poor choice for wet shaving.
  • They do not hold water as well as natural bristle brushes and the ends are square-cut making them less comfortable against the skin.
