Description

Product Overview

The Goodfellas’ Smile Black Noir Synthetic Shave Brush sets a 26 mm high density synthetic knot into a black resin handle.

A 26 mm knot is large by wet shaving standards and holds a lot of lather, which suits bowl lathering and longer multi pass shaves. The fibre resists heat and soap chemistry, absorbs very little water and dries quickly.

Lathering Performance

The fibre is a high density synthetic with low moisture absorption, so it does not soak up water the way natural hair does. The knot loads in seconds, releases a firm lather freely and shakes almost dry after a rinse. There is no break in period and no activation; the brush performs the same on the first shave as on the hundredth. At 26 mm the knot carries enough lather for several passes.

Who This Brush Is Best For

Vegan and cruelty free
No animal hair is used in a synthetic knot.
Bowl latherers
A 26 mm knot holds a generous volume of lather.
Low maintenance
No breaking in, no conditioning, no activation.

Getting the Best from Your Brush

  1. Soak the knot in warm water for a minute or two before you start, then shake out the excess.
  2. Load the brush by working it over the soap or cream until the hair is fully charged.
  3. Build the lather in a bowl or on the face, adding water a little at a time until it turns glossy.
  4. A synthetic knot does not need breaking in, so it loads and feels the same from the first shave.

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. Synthetic fibre needs no special care and no conditioning, but avoid boiling water, which can soften the filaments and cost the knot its shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the knot?
The knot is 26 mm, larger than the common 20 mm all round size. It holds a lot of lather, which suits bowl lathering and longer multi pass shaves.
Does this brush need any special care?
No. Rinse it out after the shave, shake the water off and let it dry bristles down. Synthetic fibre needs no breaking in, no conditioning and no activation.
Why choose a synthetic brush over badger or boar?
A synthetic knot uses no animal hair, needs no breaking in, dries faster than natural hair and carries no animal smell. It also costs less than a badger brush of the same size.
Can I use this brush with both soap and cream?
Yes. A synthetic knot works with hard soaps, soft soaps and creams, and can be used for bowl lathering or face lathering.
How do I prepare the brush before shaving?
Soak the knot in warm water for a minute or two, then shake out the excess water before loading your soap or cream.
Will a synthetic brush shed?
Synthetic filament knots are set into the handle and do not normally shed. An occasional stray filament in the first few uses is not unusual.
How should the brush be dried?
Rinse the knot thoroughly, shake out the water and stand the brush bristles down so air can circulate. Synthetic fibre dries quickly, usually within an hour.
How long does a synthetic brush last?
A synthetic knot holds its shape well with normal use. Rinse it thoroughly, dry it bristles down and keep it away from boiling water, which can damage the filaments.
