Product Overview

The Parker Blue Wood Handle Boar Shave Brush sets a 20 mm deluxe boar knot into a blue wood handle and is supplied with an acrylic stand in a gift box.

Boar is the traditional working bristle of wet shaving: stiff when new, softer with every shave as the tips split. The 20 mm knot is the common all round size and the wood handle keeps the brush light in the hand.

Product Specifications

Lathering Performance

Boar bristle is stiff when it is new and softens as it is used. The tips split over the first few weeks of shaving, and as they do the knot becomes softer against the face and holds more lather. Boar keeps more backbone than badger throughout its life, which is why it lifts soap out of a hard puck so easily.

Who This Brush Is Best For

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. Give a new boar brush a few weeks of regular use to break in. The tips split as the brush is used, which makes it noticeably softer and better at holding lather.

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. Dry the wooden handle as well rather than leaving it standing in water.
