Product Overview
The Parker Faux Tortoise Handle Pure Badger Shaving Brush sets a 22 mm pure badger knot into a faux tortoise resin handle and is supplied with an acrylic stand.
A 22 mm knot on a 56 mm loft holds a good volume of water and lather, which suits bowl lathering and longer multi pass shaves. The tortoise finish is a traditional barbershop look and the resin handle gives the brush weight in the hand.

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. A 22 mm knot on a 56 mm loft loads quickly and releases lather steadily through a multi pass shave.
Who This Brush Is Best For
A 22 mm knot holds enough lather for several passes.
The tortoise finish follows the classic barbershop look.
Pure badger suits hard soaps, soft soaps and creams alike.
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 is my third shaving brush and it is by far my favorite. I was concerned that it is 50% less expensive than brushes at a well-known retail shaving store, but as soon as I opened the box my fears went away. This brush has nice fit and finish, and oozes quality. It has good heft without feeling heavy, feels balanced in the hand, and the bristles are glued solidly in the resin. There was some initial shedding, but no more than other brushes, and after a few weeks I now find myself pulling out a stray bristle or two now and then. Some reviewers have mentioned an odor, and I too noticed it at first. However, after one use that was not an issue.

This is a very full, very soft brush. I bought one that had black badger hair, and this one feels much better on my face. Unfortunately since I bought it, I’m not sure I’ve had a single day that I’ve not found badger hairs that have fallen out. I’ve had it for a couple of months, and I cannot say it seems any less full than the day it arrived, but it is a concern. The price, and Amazon was great. One final note, another reviewer pointed out that the handle was different looking. I agree and while it doesn’t affect the utility of the brush, I wish it looked more like the photo.
EDIT: I was contacted by the seller who replaced my brush with a new one. I’m happy to report that the new brush has shed very little in the week that I’ve had it and the handle even looks more like the photograph. I can now say that I am completely satisfied and have changed my review from three stars to five.

Wowzers!! I didn’t know what I was missing!! I had a cheap boar brush, like the one from walmart or something like that when I first got into safety razor shaving. It worked for while, then it started to loose hair, thats when I picked this baby up!
This brush is nice and soft, but still gives you a little scratchiness(probably not the bet word to describe it) to lift up the hairs. It does stink and leave the water a little brown the first few times using it, but don’t worry it goes away and the smell stay on your face. It lathers up soap so much nicer than the boar brush I had. I had a couple soaps I thought were junk, but after using this brush with them they actually were decent soaps. I like that it comes with a stand, it’s nothing fancy, but it works good.
Overall, it is a great brush. I don’t know how it compares to others in this category, but I’m not going to spend $100’s on a brush or multiple brushes to find out. It works great for me and I’m happy with the choice, you can’t go wrong with parker in my opinion. Keep in mind brushes, blades, soaps and razors (all shaving products) are all subjective to the end user. What works great for me, someone else might not like and vice versa.
