Kent VS70 Shaving Brush

Natural badger hair is prized for its ability to retain water and heat, which helps create a warmer, more consistent lather. While synthetic brushes are often easier to maintain, badger hair offers a unique, soft texture that gently exfoliates the skin while lifting hairs for a closer shave.

To keep the handle in top condition, avoid soaking it in water for extended periods. After each use, rinse the brush thoroughly and shake out excess water, then store it in a well-ventilated area—ideally hanging bristle-down—to allow the wood and bristles to dry completely.
