Handcrafted Shaving Brush in Holly | Badger or Boar Bristle

Description

Introducing our unique Shaving Brushes handcrafted from New Zealand grown Holly wood and a choice of Badger or Boar bristle.

Badger hair has been a favoured material for high-quality shaving brushes for centuries due to its ability to retain water, which helps create a rich lather with shaving cream or soap. The soft and flexible bristles also exfoliate the skin, leaving it smooth. Additionally, badger hair is durable and maintains its shape with regular use, providing a luxurious shaving experience.

Boar bristle shaving brushes are another popular option. Their stiff bristles effectively exfoliate the skin and lift facial hair for a closer shave while picking up soap from hard pucks. Once broken in, boar bristles develop split ends that retain water and produce a rich lather. Boar brushes are affordable, durable, and ideal for those seeking a quality shaving brush.

About John

John reclaims and repurposes old timbers to create functional art - combining edgy industrial elements that reflect the past. He has a deep respect for the environment and believes in the importance of preserving natural resources.

John’s current work is created using reclaimed timbers from agricultural or industrial sources, and Wellington’s old wharves – particularly the recently restored Days Bay Wharf.

“ I try to create functional art that is sympathetic with the past, with every bolt, wire, nail hole, and carpenter’s mark reflecting the story of the wood, the job it has done, and those whose skills have crafted, worked and shaped it. “

Each handcrafted item is unique and comes with its own story - a testament to John’s passion for working with wood to preserve a sense of history.
