Shaving Brushes lathering up

Create a rich lather with the ultimate grooming tool.

There was a time when no self-respecting gentleman would have been without a decent quality shaving brush. And whilst they may have fallen out of vogue, they’re still one of the most useful tools to have in your grooming armoury. Not only do they whip up an unbeatable lather (meaning you can use less shaving cream and save money), the bristles lift hairs in preparation for shaving and also act as an exfoliator, unblocking pores and ridding skin of blade-blocking dead cells.

For the best results swipe the brush back and forth over your face. Avoid rough, circular motions as these can damage the bristles.

N&J knowledge: To protect your brush always hang it up side down on a brush stand to allow excess water to drain away form the bristles – this will prevent the core of the brush from rotting.
