Ask Aaron Q/A: Can you recommend me the best shave brush to use with shaving cream
Gary Chinchen, from the UK, asks:
“Please could you recommend a good shave brush to use with creams predominately, this is the first brush I have purchased so no idea what I should be looking for, I am sinking in conflicting advice. I’m looking to spend around £50.”
AARON SAYS
“Mr. Chinchen,
Thanks for your question! Generally for creams you would want a brush that is taller (or has a tall loft) and has a slightly longer handle. Some good choices are the Progress Vulfix 660, the Blubebeard’s Revenge “Privateer”, and the Kent BLK2 brush. These are some good standards to go with when lathering creams!
Smooth Shaving!
Aaron”

The shaving brush is certainly back
The recent revival of the shaving brush has gone to show that many men are turning back to wet shaving methods to find the perfect shave. Badger brushes in particular are growing in popularity because of the particular properties which it offers to shavers.
There are many benefits associated with using a shaving brush and a number of these are highlighted below.
When you are getting ready to shave using a cut-throat or straight razor, preparation is the key to everything. If you want to enjoy the experience to the full and get the most from your shaving experience then using a shaving brush is an important part of the process.
Before you begin shaving a shaving brush can be used to apply the lather as it helps to gently exfoliate the skin.
As you massage the face with the brush, this also works to improve the skin circulation and gets you ready for the wet shave, with its luxurious feel.
Another area where a shaving brush proves to be particular useful is in the production of a much richer lather than if you lathered your face by hand.
Finally, the brush can lift and soften the beard hair, making for a better and easier shave.
Overall, if you put your trust in a shaving brush as an important component of your wet shaving experience, you will find that it contributes to a far smoother, closer and more enjoyable shave than ever before.
