Product Overview
The Parker Ivory Marbled Handle Black Badger Shaving Brush sets a 22 mm long loft black badger knot into an ivory marbled handle on a heavyweight chrome base and is supplied with an acrylic stand in a gift box.
Black badger is the stiffest badger grade, so the brush has plenty of backbone for working a hard soap. At 22 mm the knot holds more water and lather than the common 20 mm size, and the chrome base brings the brush to a published weight of 6 ounces, which keeps it steady in the hand.

Lathering Performance
Black badger is the stiffest and coarsest of the badger grades. The extra backbone means the brush lifts soap out of a hard puck without going limp, and the firmer tips give a scrubbier feel on the face than pure or silvertip hair. The long loft on this 22 mm knot lets the bristles splay over the soap as they load, and the larger knot holds enough lather for several passes.
Who This Brush Is Best For
Black badger has more backbone than the softer badger grades.
A 22 mm long loft knot holds enough lather for several passes.
The chrome base brings the brush to a published 6 ounces.
Getting the Best from Your Brush
- Soak the knot in warm water for a minute or two before you start, then shake out the excess.
- Load the brush by working it over the soap or cream until the hair is fully charged.
- Build the lather in a bowl or on the face, adding water a little at a time until it turns glossy.
- Give a new brush several shaves to break in before judging how it loads and how soft it feels.
Adding water gradually rather than all at once is the usual difference between a thin lather and a thick one.
Care and Storage
Rinse the knot thoroughly under warm running water after every shave until the water runs clear, then shake out the excess and stand the brush bristles down so it can dry. Avoid boiling water, harsh detergents and leaving the brush sitting wet in an enclosed space. Do not stand the brush on its knot to dry. The acrylic stand holds the brush knot down between shaves so water drains away from the base of the knot.

Moi –
This was a big step up from my previous (Tweezerman) brush that was given to me as a present. It’s so comfortable and the weight feels substantial in my hands. The marbling is truly beautiful and goes well with the chrome and black for an elegant contrast. There is a noticeable animal-smell when you first wet it after buying, but goes away after only a few uses. The bristles separate more when lathering than I am used to with my old brush, but it also feels smoother and it doesn’t seem to affect my lathering negatively – I still get a better lather with this. My only complaint is that my older holder doesn’t really hold it right, something about the balance makes it rotate strangely hang downwards. I think it’s the smooth marble and weighting doesn’t generate enough friction for my older holder to grip it. Not a biggie. I have it in a different stand at my GFs home and it fits that perfectly. Wish I’d known about how nice these brushes are earlier. I would have bought it a long time ago.

Soft bristles make a rich lather. Shaving is enjoyable again. Really like the weight and feel of the handle.
