00:00 Cheap vs. Expensive Brushes Introduction

A shaving brush is a tool used to work up a lather and then apply it evenly on your face or body. We’ll teach you what qualities you can expect from shaving brushes at various price points to help you find the brush that’s right for you.

01:50 A Brief History of Shaving Brushes

Modern-style shaving arose during the late 17th century and was first popularized in the 18th century. They became a fixture in 19th-century barber shops in France. Men began shaving at home in the late 19th and 20th centuries.

02:56 Why You Should Use A Shaving Brush

A shaving brush is a beneficial but not necessarily essential shaving accessory that will improve the quality of your shave and contribute to your greater enjoyment of the entire process. Essentially, using a shaving brush will help you have the best possible shave.

05:10 Bristles

The single most important part of a shaving brush is the bristles because they retain the water and cream that will generate your lather and transfer it to your face while softening your beard hairs, opening your pores, and exfoliating your skin. The most common bristle fibers are synthetics and badger, boar, and horse hair.

11:38 Handle

Shaving brush handles can be made from any number of materials with common examples including bone, ivory, metal, horn, wood, ceramic, resin, and various plastics. In many cases, the handle of a shaving brush is a decorative choice.

15:09 Shaving Brush Construction

Shaving brush construction represents the intersection where the bristles meet the handle and is the second-most important consideration when buying a shaving brush.

The most important component of the construction is the knot. Knot assembly refers to how the knot is put together and there are two main methods:
→ Knotting
→ Gluing

18:27 Conclusion

Now that you know what qualities distinguish an expensive from a cheap shaving brush, we hope that you’ll be better able to make an informed decision as to which brush is right for you. Let us know in the comments what hallmarks of quality you look for in a shaving brush and any of your favorite brands.
