Product Overview

The Taconic Shave Deluxe Pure Badger Shave Brush sets a 22 mm pure badger knot into a beechwood and chrome handle and is supplied with a Lucite stand in a gift box.

A 22 mm knot holds a good volume of water and lather, which suits bowl lathering and longer multi pass shaves. The wood and chrome handle puts weight low down, so the brush sits steady in the hand while you load the soap.

Product Specifications

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. A 22 mm knot holds a useful volume of lather, which suits building in a bowl and working through several passes.

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 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 Lucite stand holds the brush knot down between shaves so water drains away from the base of the knot. Dry the wooden section of the handle as well rather than leaving it standing in water.
