Product Overview
The Parker Faux Horn Handle Pure Badger Shaving Brush sets a 22 mm pure badger knot into a heavyweight faux horn resin handle and is supplied with an acrylic stand in a gift box.
A 22 mm knot with a long loft holds a good volume of water and lather, which suits a multi pass shave. The faux horn handle gives the brush the look of a traditional barbershop brush and enough weight to sit steady in the hand while you load the soap.

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. The long loft on this 22 mm knot gives the tips room to splay over the soap, so the brush loads easily and releases lather steadily through a multi pass shave.
Who This Brush Is Best For
A 22 mm long loft knot holds enough lather for several passes.
The faux horn handle follows the classic barbershop look.
The brush arrives in a gift box with its stand.
Getting the Best from Your Brush
- Soak the knot in warm water for a minute or two before you start, then shake out the excess.
- Load the brush by working it over the soap or cream until the hair is fully charged.
- Build the lather in a bowl or on the face, adding water a little at a time until it turns glossy.
- 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.

This brush isn’t the softest but I don’t think it’s meant to be. It works up a very good lather and the slight stiffness of the bristles helps clean your face as you lather. I’ve spent more before for less.

This brush is very prickly and scratchy not good for face lathering. Don’t get me wrong this is still a good brush for bowl lathering and painting the lather on your face. This brush is probably the best pure badger brush you can find here on Amazon. Some have even compaired it to lower grade best badger. Badger hair is graded on a scale with super badger at the top followed by silver tip and best badger with pure badger being the lowest grade. This brush is a pure badger hence why it’s prickly and scratchy, don’t expect it to feel like a silver tip badger. On the good side this brush produces a ton of lather when done in a bowl. Just soak for 5 minutes give it a shake and can whip up great lather from a soap or cream like nothing. Since the knot is dense and thick it can pick up soap from the hardest of soaps with no difficulty. It also retains lather for your 3 passes without the lather dying down, forcing you to reload with cream or soap. When I use Proraso cream a small dollop of cream goes a long way. I really like the handle it has a good heft to it and the whole brush weighs 120 grams. I would recommend this brush strictly for bowl or scuttle lathering. For face lathering a Semouge boar or an Omega S brush is preferable.
