Description

Product Overview

The Parker Long Loft Shaving Brush sets a 20 mm pure badger knot on a long loft into a wood handle and is supplied with a Lucite stand in a gift box.

The long loft is the point of this brush. Giving the hair extra length above the ferrule lets the tips splay further over the soap, which makes the brush easy to load and soft in use, while the 20 mm knot keeps it controllable on the face.

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 knot gives the tips more room to splay over the soap than a standard brush, so it loads easily and feels softer against the face.

Who This Brush Is Best For

Soft feel preference
A long loft makes the same grade of hair feel softer on the face.
Face latherers
A 20 mm knot is easy to control directly on the face.
Natural wood preference
The wood handle is a change from moulded resin.

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. 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 Lucite stand holds the brush knot down between shaves so water drains away from the base of the knot. Dry the wooden handle as well rather than leaving it standing in water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the knot?
The knot is 20 mm, the common all round size, set on a long loft. The extra loft is what gives this brush its softer feel.
What difference does a long loft make?
Loft is how far the hair stands above the handle. A longer loft lets the tips splay further and flex more, so the brush feels softer and paints lather more readily. A short loft feels firmer and scrubbier.
What is pure badger hair?
Pure badger is the standard grade of badger hair used in shaving brushes. It holds water well and has more backbone than the softer grades, which makes it straightforward to load soap and work up lather.
Can I use this brush with both soap and cream?
Yes. Pure badger works with hard soaps, soft soaps and creams, and can be used for bowl lathering or face lathering.
How do I prepare the brush before shaving?
Soak the knot in warm water for a minute or two, then shake out the excess water before loading your soap or cream.
Will a new brush shed hairs?
A few loose hairs in the first several uses are normal for a natural hair brush and usually stop on their own. Heavy shedding that continues is not normal.
How should the brush be dried?
Rinse the knot thoroughly, shake out the water and stand the brush bristles down so air can circulate. Do not store it wet in a closed cabinet or a sealed travel tube.
Does a new badger brush have a smell?
New natural hair brushes can carry a faint animal smell for the first few washes. Lathering the brush with soap several times and rinsing well normally clears it.
