Product Overview

This gift set pairs a 24 mm Parker synthetic shaving brush and its acrylic stand with a tub of artisan shave soap made in Italy by The Goodfellas’ Smile.

It is a complete lathering setup in one box: the brush, somewhere for it to dry, and a soap good enough that you will not want to replace it straight away. The only thing it does not include is a razor and blades.

Product Specifications

Lathering Performance and the Soap

The synthetic knot holds water on the surface of the fibre rather than absorbing it, so it loads the soap in seconds and releases lather freely. The Goodfellas’ Smile soap is made in Italy by the hot process method, which is the slower way of making shaving soap and generally gives better slickness and cushion than a cold pressed soap. Together they build a dense lather quickly without much technique.

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 on the stand to dry. Let the soap dry out between shaves rather than leaving standing water on top of it.
