About Shaving Brushes
Choosing a Shaving Brush
Choose by fibre, size and face feel. Badger brushes are traditional and hold water well, boar brushes can feel firmer and improve with use, horse hair sits in its own natural-hair category, and synthetic brushes are easy to rinse and quick to dry.
Badger, Boar and Synthetic
For classic premium brushes, compare badger shaving brushes from Simpson, Semogue and MUHLE. For more backbone, compare boar and horse hair brushes. For animal-free fibre, use synthetic shaving brushes.
What to Use With a Brush
A shaving brush works with shaving soap, shaving cream and many cream-soap formats. A shaving bowl or mug is useful if you prefer to build lather away from the face.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of shaving brush should I choose?
Choose badger for traditional natural hair feel, boar for firmer backbone, synthetic for quick drying and easy care, or a travel brush when compact storage matters.
Do I need a shaving brush for shaving soap?
For most traditional shaving soaps, yes. A brush loads the soap and builds the lather needed for a comfortable wet shave.
Are synthetic shaving brushes good?
Yes. Synthetic shaving brushes are quick to use, easy to rinse and dry faster than many natural-hair brushes. They are a practical option for daily use and travel.

Amazing razor. Very close shave and great feeling using it. It should last forever
Just thought I would do an update. I tried one of the free RK blades today, terrible. You will not appreciate how good this razor is with these blades. If you are new to DE shaving DO GET Astra blades. My previous review was with my usual Astra blades, superb and a completly different shave with these blades. Have yet to try my Feather blades but expecting great results with those too. Male Grooming Supplies, why are you promoting such a poor blade with such a great shaver. If its Henson doing this, tell them. At the very least throw in a pack of Astras for anyone new to shaving. This review is here to help you. Its a BRILLIANT shave, with the right blade.
Great shave, great service. This Henson medium is a lovely razor and easy to get used to its design. Only downside is it doesn’t stand up, but that’s not going to take away from how good it is or the helpful conversation I had with the customer support team
Seems expensive at first , but when you get the sheath , superior materials and it is a life long purchase after all it ain’t that bad . Prefer it to my futur which I’ve used for 7 years ( set on 1 to avoid knicks ) as it’s a bit more nimble . Feels great in the hand and is top quality .
Been wanting to move away from disposable razors for use on my head and was recommended the AL13. It’s epic…
Very well made travel brush tube
I had a different version of this razor a few years ago and having liked the design and look I thought I'll take a gamble and buy the real thing as it's so appealing to look at. I've read many reviews and even watched YouTube videos about this razor so I've done me homework. My first shave with it was on setting 1.5 as I thought I'll take it easy and slow till I get the feel of the razor. I done a wtg then xtg using a derby premium blade then I changed it to the Merkur blade supplied for the 3rd pass atg as the Derby was struggling a bit as I had a week's growth. I waited 3 days before I had my second shave with it and this time I put it on setting 3 for wtg then 2 for xtg and finally 1 for atg using a Gillette Wilkinson saloon blade and the shave was so satisfying, smooth and a bbs. It's a hefty razor so a gentle touch is all that's needed with zero pressure and this razor sings to you as it takes your whiskers off with ease. So glad I bought it as it's a keeper for sure and as I'm not a daily shaver this serves my needs perfectly. If I go a full week again without shaving I'll go even higher like a 4 or 5 on the settings and take my time. To me shaving is not to be rushed but enjoyed by taking your time and this razor seems perfect to me for that. The very reasonable price was a deciding factor in me buying this razor with a 10% off at checkout plus the despatch and delivery was spot on. 😀👍
I have the Henson AL13 Safety Razor V2.0 - Aircraft Aluminium, and this stand fits the razor perfectly. Great for resting the razor whilst it dries and for storing.
Decades ago I bought a standard brush. Didn't think it really mattered. It was so rough on my face I gave up. Turns out the brush does matter. I have especially delicate skin and this Muhle Classic Silvertip Fibre® Faux Ivory Shaving Brush makes sure it doesn't cause me any irritations whilst using it. Thankyou Muhle.
The customer care is second to none. I had a question after I placed an order and before it had been sent. The response was so quick and extremely helpful. Items were well packaged. Speedy delivery. Can’t fault the products. Thankyou Male Grooming Supplies.
Simpson’s shaving cream is the best I have used in over 60 years of shaving and this one, with a refreshing Lime scent is perfect and refreshing for Summer.
Having spent 55ish years using heavy, stainless steel razors from a variety of manufacturers, I was a little apprehensive forking out so much for an Aluminium alloy product. My fears were totally unfounded. This has been an epic experience, five shaves in five days with ZERO nicks or cuts. That, for me, is a novel situation - never happened before with a new (to me) razor, especially for my tough beard/sensitive skin combination.
The quality of the shave is truly BBS (baby bottom smooth), which lady-wife appreciates.
It's going to take a while longer to become accustomed to the lightweight hefty, but I'm sure I'll manage somehow.
The delivery was nice and quick, so no hanging around with a face full of stubble.
Would I recommend this razor? Yes, in a heartbeat. The same goes for the vendor. I am a happy bunny all around.
Fantastic razor, a brilliant upgrade from my trusty Edwin Jagger.
