Product Specifications

Lathering Performance

Synthetic filaments hold water on the surface of the fibre rather than absorbing it, so the knot loads quickly, releases lather freely and shakes almost dry in seconds. There is no break in period and no soaking needed; the brush feels the same on the first shave as on the hundredth. The knot is set soft rather than firm, so it is forgiving on the face and suits creams particularly well.

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 leave the brush to dry bristles down. Synthetic fibre needs no soaking before the shave and no conditioning, but avoid boiling water, which can soften the filaments and cost the knot its shape.
