Product Overview

The Parker Solar Storm Synthetic Shaving Brush sets an extra large 28 mm tuxedo knot into a marbled golden yellow, brown and white resin handle and is supplied with an acrylic stand in a gift box.

At 28 mm this is the largest knot in the Parker synthetic range. It carries a great deal of lather, which suits bowl lathering and long multi pass shaves, and the Parker logo is imprinted on the base of the handle.

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; the brush feels the same on the first shave as on the hundredth. At 28 mm the knot carries a great deal of lather, comfortably enough for several passes from a single load.

Who This Brush Is Best For

Vegan and cruelty free
No animal hair is used in a synthetic knot.
Bowl latherers
A 28 mm knot holds more lather than most brushes.
Gift buyers
The brush arrives in a gift box with its stand.

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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the knot?
The knot is 28 mm, the largest in the Parker synthetic range and well above the common 20 mm all round size, with a 52 mm loft.
What is a tuxedo knot?
Tuxedo describes the look of the fibre: dark along the length with pale tips, so the knot resembles a black tie against a white shirt. It is a fibre style rather than a grade, and the tips are cut soft.
Why choose a synthetic brush over badger or boar?
A synthetic knot uses no animal hair, needs no breaking in, dries faster than natural hair and carries no animal smell. It also costs less than a badger brush of the same size.
Can I use this brush with both soap and cream?
Yes. A synthetic knot 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 synthetic brush shed?
Synthetic filament knots are set into the handle and do not normally shed. An occasional stray filament in the first few uses is not unusual.
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.
How long does a synthetic brush last?
A synthetic knot holds its shape well with normal use. Rinse it thoroughly, dry it bristles down and keep it away from boiling water, which can damage the filaments.
