A substantial brush made with the quality and aesthetics one expects from QED. Apart from the comfort and secure grip offered by the lathe-turned ergonomic handle, a truly striking feature of the high quality resin is the coppery swirls produced by mica minerals under the handle surface, somewhat reminiscent of antique red garnet.

 

The Select’s 26mm hair bundle contains a generous amount of Manchurian silvertip badger hair, sterilized, sorted, weighed and tied by hand. Contrary to popular marketing, Manchurian silvertip is not a grade of hair as much as it is a location. Sourced from the coldest region of Northeast China (historically known as Manchuria) this uncut, unbleached, unmixed silvertip is noted for its softness. Unbleached silvertip badger hair varies naturally in color from off-white to gray. (See Further Details link below)

 

Bulb shaped, this brush will offer the ideal balance between backbone and soft tips. Due to its water retention capacity the QED Select Manchurian silvertip badger hair generates a luxurious lather that provides ample lubrication for the razor to smoothly glide over the skin. The Select is truly a delight to use. $86.00
