The men-u Premier Shaving Brush
After 3 years in development - this is a revolutionary NEW type of shaving brush for the perfect shave. The bristles are as soft as pure badger but are in fact synthetic - great news for badgers! We believe it's simply the best you will have ever used.What makes this shaving brush & stand so great?
- The synthetic bristles are non-absorbant, so they need less shaving cream and create a rich lather.
- The bristles are much easier to clean and more hygienic than brushes made of animal hair.
- Particularly suited to guys with sensitive skin.
- The bristles dry extremely fast, so great for travel.
- The stand helps promote the longevity of the brush.
I thought Badger Brushes were the best. Explain why this is better than an expensive badger brush?
Shaving brushes have barely changed in 250 years! In the early days, natural bristles such as boar and badger were what was readily available. Because they absorb water they were good for using with the shaving soap at the time - a mixture of animal fat and wood ash!! Very drying. As you can imagine shaving products have moved on quite a bit since. The secret to a good shave creme is a concentration of lubricants and moisturisers and getting these in contact with skin and beard - all else is wasted.
The synthetic bristles of the men-u Premier shaving brush are non absorbent and there is more than enough water on the surface of the bristles to provide a great shave with a quality shaving product. The benefits of this brush, which we see as the most significant change to the shaving brush in 250 years, are - soft bristles (like badger but definitely not badger!), great efficacy because so little product is required, easy to clean the bristles and keep them clean (if badger bristles absorb water they also absorb and retain product!), because the bristles do not expand and contract with absorption far less likelihood of bristle loss. Throughout the entire 3 year development and testing period, we are not aware of a single bristle falling out!
Our primary objective with the Premier was to develop a better shaving brush for modern shaving creams. Some traditionalists and retailers of high priced badger bristle shaving brushes may prefer to stay with badger or maybe we should look to retail the men-u Premier at a price closer to, or in excess of $150 As they say - the choice is yours!
