Description

Product Overview

This is an open box Classic Parker Pure Badger Shaving Brush. The brush itself is brand new and unused; only the packaging may show minor cosmetic imperfections, which is why it is priced below the sealed listing.

The brush sets a 20 mm pure badger knot into a heavyweight chrome handle. A 20 mm knot is the common all round size in traditional wet shaving: it loads soap readily, works on the face as easily as in a bowl, and dries quickly between shaves.

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

Value buyers
The same brush as the sealed listing, priced lower for marked packaging.
Everyday wet shavers
A 20 mm knot is the common all round size and suits most soaps and bowls.
Face latherers
A 20 mm knot is easy to control directly on the face.

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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the knot?
The knot is 20 mm, the common all round size for a traditional shaving brush. It suits both bowl lathering and face lathering.
What does open box mean here?
The brush is brand new and has never been used. Only the outer packaging may show minor cosmetic imperfections, from handling or storage rather than use. It is the same product as our sealed Classic Parker Pure Badger listing at a lower price.
What is pure badger hair?
Pure badger is the standard grade of badger hair used in shaving brushes. It holds water well and has more backbone than the softer grades, which makes it straightforward to load soap and work up lather.
Can I use this brush with both soap and cream?
Yes. Pure badger 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 new brush shed hairs?
A few loose hairs in the first several uses are normal for a natural hair brush and usually stop on their own. Heavy shedding that continues is not normal.
How should the brush be dried?
Rinse the knot thoroughly, shake out the water and stand the brush bristles down so air can circulate. Do not store it wet in a closed cabinet or a sealed travel tube.
Does a new badger brush have a smell?
New natural hair brushes can carry a faint animal smell for the first few washes. Lathering the brush with soap several times and rinsing well normally clears it.
