Edwin Jagger Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush Plaza Imitation Ebony

Edwin Jagger is Europe’s foremost manufacturer of luxury handmade shaving equipment. Edwin Jagger products are crafted and hand-assembled in Sheffield, England — a city known for its rich industrial history. This Plaza Imitation Ebony Shaving Brush (Silver Tip) is a premium silver tip badger shaving brush designed for a top-quality lathering experience.

Manufactured using the highest-quality materials, this shaving brush features a contemporary design with a chic black finish. Designed to fit comfortably in your hand, the handle has a curvaceous shape with a flared base. The smooth design is finished with the Edwin Jagger logo proudly displayed as a mark of exceptional craftsmanship.

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

Silver Tip is the highest-quality grade of badger hair available. Collected from the neck of the animal, the hairs are finely graded, sorted, and hand-tied to create an incredibly soft knot made entirely of untrimmed silver tips. The craftsmanship involved in hand-filling the bundle is highly specialized, and the distinctive black band capped with pure white tips reflects the quality required to create a silver tip shaving brush. The natural ends of each hair feel exceptionally soft against the skin, creating a luxurious massaging sensation on the face. Because the hairs are so fine, more hairs are needed to achieve the desired knot density. Each bundle contains more than 18,000 individual badger hairs, creating a firmer knot that effectively exfoliates the skin and prepares the beard for shaving. Silver tip badger hair is the softest of all the grades and is also renowned for its ability to retain large amounts of water, allowing the brush to quickly produce a dense, creamy lather time after time.

Clean your brush thoroughly between uses to keep it in top condition for as long as possible. After shaving, rinse the brush in hot water, shake away 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 upright rather than laying it flat so air can circulate through the hairs and dry the brush naturally. Do not use this brush with shaving oil.
