Care & Maintenance

This synthetic shaving brush does not require activation or a break-in period before use. Before the first shave, clean the knot to remove any residual dust that may remain on the fibers.

After each shave, rinse the knot thoroughly to remove remaining shaving soap or cream and allow the brush to dry completely before storage. Synthetic fibers can be sensitive to prolonged UV exposure, which may contribute to aging, so store the brush away from excessive direct sunlight.

Why Choose a Synthetic Shaving Brush?

Quality synthetic shaving brushes offer several practical benefits, including minimal water absorption, immediate readiness for use, simple maintenance, and efficient release of shaving lather onto the face. Unlike natural-hair brushes, they do not require soaking or an extended break-in period.

The Red/Black brush combines these advantages with a dense, structured 26mm knot designed to produce a rich and satisfying lather. Its straightforward care requirements make it an accessible option for newcomers to traditional wet shaving while providing the performance and convenience experienced shavers may prefer.

Pro Tip

There is no need to soak this synthetic brush before shaving. Wet the knot, shake out the excess water, and begin loading your shaving soap or cream. Since PBT fibers absorb very little water, add small amounts of water gradually while lathering until you reach your preferred consistency.
