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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a badger shaving brush best for?
A badger shaving brush is best for traditional wet shaving with soap or cream when you want natural hair feel, good water retention and a controlled lather.
What is the difference between Pure, Best and Super badger?
Pure is usually firmer, Best is a balanced everyday grade, and Super or Silvertip is generally softer. The exact feel still depends on the knot, density and brand.
Is Silvertip Fibre a badger brush?
No. Silvertip badger is natural hair, while MUHLE Silvertip Fibre is synthetic. If you want animal-free fibre, browse synthetic shaving brushes.
Let customers speak for us
from 477 reviewsI used to be something of a wet shaving enthusiast and at one time had a collection of over thirty double edged razors, but my desert island razor is without a doubt the Henson. Almost all DE razors are merely slight variations on the early 1900s models, with their protruding safety bars, awkward shaving angles, and flat caps which don't bend the blade much, meaning you scrape the blade rather than slice with it. The Henson changed all that with it's angular cap which sharply bends the blade so you shave with the sharp edge, and it also forces you to adopt the correct 30 degree angle. Even the mild version has quite a large blade gap offset by a small blade exposure, so the shave is efficient but still very smooth. I have all three Henson aluminium models, but when I saw Male Grooming Supplies' superb price I decided to treat myself to the Ti22 titanium version. You can adjust the effectiveness of it slightly by using sharper blades (like Feather or BiC) for heavy growth, or smoother coated blades (Astra Platinums and almost any modest Lord blade) for day to day shaves. I read that Male Grooming Supplies are safe and reliable suppliers so I snapped up this Henson without a second thought. It's the most effective razor I've ever owned, thoroughly recommended.
Great shaving brush. Great delivery service…very quick.
Great razor for a beginner, I switched from cartridge razors to the Merkur 34c with astra blades, using Proraso pre shave cream, and with either Proraso or Cella soap. All inexpensive items. I shave every 3 days and the shaves have been very smooth, although it takes a bit longer than using cartridges, it becomes a more enjoyable experience. Less skin irritation. I wish I had switched aes ago. The Merkur is easy to use and goes through 3 days stubble with ease.
Nice brush at a fair price
The rasor is built very solidly and feels stable in the hands. The locking mechanism is also well done with the washer ensuring a tight grip. It feels a little light in my hands but I think there is a much more expensive version which is heavier and even solider.
This is by far my favorite razor. I already own one that I use back at my folks . Such a great Steve I had to get another for my own home. Nicely built and when you get used to it gives a really close shave without the burn. Also was by far the best price buying here.
Great but expensive, feels great in hand and gives a mild but efficient shave , one of my faves.
Soft tips, Slightly above average Backbone, fiber high density, the top area of knot is little small for me
Good razor purchased after advice from the team.
My brother adores these products, and I’m thinking of buying some myself. As a Bradford local it’s a big shame the company closed, so I’m chuffed to stumble across some remaining stock. Thanks for a swift and easy shop.
Very stylish and beautiful quality shaving bowl - my days of using cheap plastic containers are well and truly over!
This Simpsons shaving brush is my first 'foray' into high-end shaving items and the amazing difference it has made to my daily shaving routine means I will definitely not be going back to supermarket brushes. I should also mention that, as a first time customer of MGS, their service was impeccable.
First off, let me start by saying that Male Grooming Supplies is fantastic. Sorted the order quickly and efficiently. We'll done.
On to the soap. I love Tabac, you can keep feeding this stuff water and it rewards you with phenomenal slickness and protection. It's not top tier artisan level slickness, but it's definitely not far behind. As I say, dont be shy adding water, you'll love it.
