About Badger Hair Shaving Brushes

Badger Brush Grades

Pure badger is usually firmer, Best badger is a balanced daily grade, Finest often offers softer tips with useful backbone, and Super or Silvertip badger sits at the softer premium end. The terms are not identical across every maker.

Simpson, Semogue and MUHLE

Choose Simpson shaving brushes for classic British brush shapes, Semogue for Portuguese brush making and natural hair options, and MUHLE for German brushes and shaving sets.

Badger, Boar or Synthetic?

Badger is a natural-hair choice for water retention and traditional face feel. For firmer bristle, compare boar shaving brushes. For quick drying and animal-free fibre, compare synthetic shaving brushes. MUHLE Silvertip Fibre is synthetic, not badger hair.
