Collection: Shaving Brushes

Shop shaving brushes for traditional wet shaving, including badger, boar, horse hair and synthetic fibre brushes. A men's shaving brush helps load shaving soap or cream, lift the beard and build a protective lather with the right mix of water and product.

Compare badger shaving brushes for natural hair feel, boar, hog and horse hair brushes for firmer backbone, and synthetic shaving brushes for quick drying. For travel, use travel shaving brushes. Pair any wet shave brush or lather brush with shaving soap, shaving cream or a shaving bowl.

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.
