Product Overview

The Parker Ebony Handle Black Badger Shave Brush sets a 20 mm black badger knot into a durable ebony finish resin handle and is supplied with an acrylic stand in a gift box.

Black badger is the stiffest badger grade, so the brush has plenty of backbone for working a hard soap. The 20 mm knot is the common all round size, quick to load and easy to control whether you lather in a bowl or on the face.

Product Specifications

Lathering Performance

Black badger is the stiffest and coarsest of the badger grades. The extra backbone means the brush lifts soap out of a hard puck without going limp, and the firmer tips give a scrubbier feel on the face than pure or silvertip hair. The dense 20 mm knot picks up soap quickly and releases lather steadily through a multi pass shave.

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 acrylic stand holds the brush knot down between shaves so water drains away from the base of the knot.
