Edwin Jagger Chatsworth Barley Shaving Brush (Synthetic Silver Tip)

Edwin Jagger is Europe’s leading manufacturer of luxury handmade shaving equipment. Edwin Jagger products are crafted and hand-assembled in Sheffield, England — a city renowned for its rich industrial heritage. This Chatsworth Barley Shaving Brush (Synthetic Silver Tip) is a premium silver tip shaving brush made with synthetic fibers and designed to deliver a superior lathering experience.

Manufactured using the highest-quality materials, this shaving brush features a classic design with a beautiful metallic finish and distinctive patterning. Designed to fit comfortably in your hand, the handle has a curvaceous shape with a flared base. Each Chatsworth shaving brush is hand-polished before delivery to achieve a brilliant shine that highlights the intricate Barley pattern.

With a knot size of 21mm (0.8”), this brush is classified as medium-sized, making it ideal for most wet shavers. Whether you prefer a larger or smaller shaving brush comes down to personal preference, but this balanced size effectively holds a generous amount of water and soap while still providing excellent control and precision. The handle measures 50mm (2.1”) tall and 33mm (1.3”) in diameter, fitting comfortably in virtually any hand and offering a secure grip even when lathering with wet or soapy hands.

Synthetic Silver Tip is an exceptionally high-quality fill designed to rival the elite performance of Silver Tip badger hair without the use of animal products. Each synthetic shaving brush bundle contains a blend of straight fibers and waved or crimped fibers of varying lengths. This delicate arrangement of untrimmed tips creates a structure that helps the bundle retain moisture and trap hot water within the knot while also creating the bloomed shape of the brush.

Despite this, the fibers do not actually absorb water, allowing the brush to dry much faster than animal-hair alternatives. The blend of untrimmed tips also makes the bundle especially flexible, creating an incredibly satisfying lathering experience that feels soft on the skin while still lifting and exfoliating the beard effectively. Synthetic Silver Tip is also designed to be more durable than natural hair and will not snap or shed in the same way as badger hair. With proper care, a synthetic silver tip shaving brush can last for many years, making it an excellent long-term investment.

Clean your brush thoroughly between uses to keep it in optimal condition for as long as possible. After shaving, rinse the brush in hot water, shake off any excess moisture, and hang the brush on a stand with the bristles pointing downward. If you do not have a stand, leave the brush standing upright rather than laying it horizontally so air can circulate through the bristles and allow the brush to dry naturally. Do not use this brush with shaving oil.
