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 391 reviewsI was debating whether to get the medium or aggressive razor. As I can't be a***ed to shave more than every five days I went for the aggressive. Fantastic, just cuts through the stubble with consummate ease. Very light and ergonomic too. Easy to manoeuvre and the design means that you get the correct shaving angle naturally.
The only thing better is the service from MGS! I had a few queries which were answered almost immediately, great! I ordered the razor on Friday afternoon and it was delivered by nine on Saturday morning. Brilliant.
Both the razor and service are so good in fact that I will probably order the medium Henson to go with its big brother.
Thanks guys!
A gift for a friend who absolutely adores it
This brush (T3) is amazing and fantastic value for money. Well made and made to last. Robust when lathering up with no need to pre soak before use. Highly recommended.
Having just got back into wet shaving, I thought I would try the T3 Trafalgar & Henson AL13++. I've just used both of them and they are fantastic. The T3 is great for lathering and no need to pre soak. The Henson is just something else. If you are new to wet shaving, go for this, I didn’t have any nicks but a really close shave (3 passes). Don’t be put off as it is very lightweight, the blade will do the work and you will learn how much pressure you need to apply after a couple of uses. Using these going forward will be an absolute pleasure. Highly recommended, both of them.
Taylor of Old Bond Street is a wonderful shaving cream and I highly recommend to all.
Simpson Bay Rum shaving cream has got a very delicate but elegant scent, not too overpowering but very pleasant throughout the shave. The cream lathers easily and it's very slick, the razor will glide effortlessly. Post shave is very good, my skin was left soft and elastic even before applying the post shave balm. Definitely recommended!
After several years my old razor stopped aligning the blade correctly. This razor is a much better design, easier to clean, and a very smooth shave.
I have the Muhle R89 standard, however I wanted I wanted to improve on it for two main reasons, a longer handle and having a two rather than three piece head, whilst retaining the R89 head. The R89 'twist' was just what I needed and it most definitely works for.
Highly recommended well done male grooming for rapid dispatch
salter shaving creams never dissapoint, performance is great and aftershave feel fantastic.
the vetiver fragrance is a very dark earthy fragrance if you like vetiver this is for you
cannot fault this cream only wish they did matching splashes or balms
I’ve used these with the Henson AL13 and they seem to work very well! I suspect I may never have to buy any more razor blades for the rest of my life…!
I've used a few regular safety razors before, but I've never had a shave this smooth and clean. I finally tried this bad boy with an open comb, and it has been a total game-changer! Yes, you need a good technique, but the results are absolutely remarkable.
It also has excellent moisturizing effects.
I've moved from badger to boar due to using soaps instead of creams. The boar bristles are stiffer and better suited to soaps. This lathers up well and softens the beard ready to shave.
