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.

Glowing review for Kent BK4 Silver Tip Badger Shaving Brush
The luxurious Kent BK4 Silver Tip Badger Shaving Brush has been given a glowing review by a leading American wet shaving expert.
Mike Sandoval, from leading wet shaving website Shaving101.com, was full of praise for the premium shaving brush, describing it as “outstanding”.
He started off his review by saying: “I was amazed at the beauty of the badger hair upon opening the red presentation box. The silvertip badger hair is simply gorgeous.
“Expecting this brush to be a ‘nice’ brush, I was very surprised when it revealed itself to be outstanding!
“The BK4 is one of the most versatile shaving brushes I have ever used with both hard soaps and shaving creams. The BK4 quickly produces a rich volume of lather easily suitable for a three-pass shave.”
Mike, who has been reviewing wet shaving products for more then 10 years, continued: “Those who want a brush that will work well with any soap or cream, and always be soft and comfortable on the face will love this brush.
“Those with sensitive skin that have problems with the stiffer bristles of many other high-end brushes would also greatly benefit it as well.”
He concluded by describing the Kent BK4 as an “outstanding example of a good-value shaving brush”, adding “the comfortable feel of the handle, gorgeous and soft high-quality badger hair, and classy red presentation case all represent what a fine British shaving brush should be”.
