The QED Select 2322 Best badger shaving brush is a classic that is sure to please traditionalists. Lathed-turned in high quality resin reminiscent of antique ivory, the ergonomic design offers comfort and a secure grip. A substantial brush made with the quality and aesthetics one expects from QED.
Best Badger (in general) is rarer than pure badger hair, and offers a significant improvement in feel and quality over pure. It is finer and more pliable than pure badger and lighter in color, ranging from light brown to gray. Because the hair shaft of best badger is thinner than pure badger, a best badger shaving brush contains more hair and has better water absorbing capabilities than a pure badger shaving brush. Consequently, it is a more ideal brush for creating a richer more profuse lather. Sometimes best badger hair is bleached to whiten the tips to make them more eye-appealing. Brushes made exclusively with best badger hair cost more than “Pure” badger.
QED Select Best Badger shaving brushes contain the highest quality hand-packed, uncut, unbleached, unmixed best badger hair, retaining the hairs suppleness, softness and natural color. The densely packed 22mm knot has superb ‘backbone’ (resiliency) yet soft tips. The exceptional water-holding capacity of this brush insures a rich warm lather. For the gentleman seeking a softer tactile lathering experience than that offered by a pure badger brush, the QED Select Best Badger shaving brush is the ideal choice. For many wet shavers, the variance between the qualities of ‘best’ badger and the higher grade 'silvertip' badger is negligible. The best badger shaving brush represents the best value in quality for the price. $42.00
