Product Overview
The Parker Ivory Handle Pure Badger Shave Brush sets a 20 mm pure badger knot into an ivory coloured resin handle and is supplied with an acrylic stand. The handle is resin finished in an ivory colour.
Pure badger holds a good volume of water and has the backbone to work soap out of a hard puck, which makes it a practical brush for bowl lathering or face lathering.

Lathering Performance
Pure badger is the standard grade of badger hair. It absorbs and holds water well, and the hair keeps enough backbone to lift soap out of a hard puck without going limp. The 20 mm knot works for building lather in a bowl or scuttle and for lathering directly on the face, and it releases lather steadily through a multi pass shave.
Who This Brush Is Best For
A 20 mm knot is the common all round size and suits most soaps and bowls.
The resin handle is finished in a pale ivory colour with a smooth surface.
The brush arrives in a gift box with its stand.
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.

Makes me wonder why I tolerated my prior brush for so long!
It always comfortably delivers a lush lather with very little effort on my part.

This is an awesome brush for the price. I’ve never purchased at $60 brush because, well that seems a bit expensive for a tool that simply leathers and spreads soap on my face. I don’t wear a monocle and top hot.
I’ve been working my way up from the cheapest and this is closest to the real deal as you are going to get. Very few hairs fell out during my first use. I’ve had it for a few months and it’s still holding up great. It leathers great.
Highly recommend this especially if you don’t want to shell out a lot of money for shaving brush.

A great, inexpensive brush that’s high quality! I’ve been using this brush for the last 10 days, and it seems to be breaking in very well. There have been very few loose hairs from this brush, even fewer than from a synthetic brush I was using before I ordered this one! The badger bristles feel like they have slightly more backbone compared to what I was using, which is exactly what I was looking for. The base appears to be high quality as well, and has a nice neutral feel while I’m holding it to lather. All in all, a great buy!
