With a 21mm (0.8”) knot size, this brush is considered medium-sized, making it a great all-around choice for most shavers. Whether you prefer a larger or smaller brush comes down to personal preference, but this balanced size offers excellent water and soap retention while still providing strong control and precision. The handle measures 50mm (2.1”) tall and 33mm (1.3”) in diameter, fitting comfortably in nearly any hand and maintaining a secure grip even when wet or soapy.

Best Badger is a high-quality grade of badger hair, ideal for those looking for a dependable, more affordable shaving brush. It is one of the most popular grades available. The hair comes from thicker areas of the pelt, including the underbelly, and is more common than Silver Tip or Super grades. Best badger hair is typically slightly shorter and darker than finer grades, with natural variation ranging from gray to brown and black. The bristles are a bit firmer and less flexible, creating a knot that’s excellent for preparing coarse facial hair while delivering a satisfying exfoliating feel. It also holds water well, helping traditional wet shavers build a rich, creamy lather with ease.

To maintain your brush, rinse thoroughly after each use. After shaving, rinse in hot water, shake off excess moisture, and store it with the bristles facing downward on a stand. If a stand isn’t available, keep the brush upright so air can circulate and it can dry naturally. Do not use this brush with shaving oil.
