Hand Made Ox-Horn Shaving Brush, Badger Hair

Hand Made Ox-Horn Shaving Brush, Badger Hair
£128.00
Ex Tax: £106.67
Made in Carnforth, Lancashire by the craftsmen of Great Britain’s last remaining commercial hornworks from the the horn of Nigerian long horned fulani cattle mounted to a head of selected pure badger hair. Lightly trimmed to retain their typical light-dark ticking these tapered hairs hold their spring and shape longer than is typically the case with pig or synthetic bristle, and are also thought to produce a finer, creamier, lather.

Care Advice

Keep dry when not in use. In the case of wet-use brushes, please shake any excess moisture from the bristles, and dry hanging up or on a surface with the bristles facing down. Clean brushes only when necessary with a little shampoo and hot water, making sure to dry thoroughly. Condition the wooden surface every now and then with a beeswax furniture polish, or mineral oil, to prevent cracks or splitting. Note that clothes moths will go for animal fibre brushes in the same way that they will for animal fibre clothes. Keep brushes in a dust free environment, and treat surfaces with cedar oil to repel them.
  • Weight g 80g
  • Item Dimensions ⌀5 x H10.5
  • Materials Ox-horn, badger hair, and metal
