Product Overview

The Goodfellas’ Smile Galaxy Synthetic Shave Brush sets an oversized 26 mm synthetic knot into a patterned resin handle.

A 26 mm knot is large by wet shaving standards and holds a lot of lather, which suits bowl lathering and longer multi pass shaves. The fibre absorbs very little water and dries quickly, so the brush needs no breaking in and no special care.

Product Specifications

Lathering Performance

The fibre is a high density synthetic with low moisture absorption, so it does not soak up water the way natural hair does. The knot loads in seconds, releases a firm lather freely and shakes almost dry after a rinse. There is no break in period and no activation; the brush performs the same on the first shave as on the hundredth. At 26 mm the knot carries enough lather for 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. A synthetic knot does not need breaking in, so it loads and feels the same from the first shave.

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. Synthetic fibre needs no special care and no conditioning, but avoid boiling water, which can soften the filaments and cost the knot its shape.
