Review on πŸͺ’ Edwin Jagger 1EJ256SDS Traditional English Super Badger Hair Shaving Brush Faux Ebony Medium + Drip Stand - Black (Medium Size) by Kate Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Soft but durable shaving brushes

I have three brushes: Clean, Super and Silver. You can't really tell there's a huge difference between the Super and Silvertip, although Silvertip holds more water and is a bit softer. I've been using this comb for a little over a month and I've only lost a hair. It retains a lot of water, which is good for wet shaving. Make sure to clean your brush every few months, or more often if you have very hard water like me. Take a few tablespoons of borax and soak the brush in hot water for a few hours. Another tip, just be very careful with this brush. The hairs are soft and strong, yet gentle so you don't have to shake the brush like crazy to get the water out. Shake it twice, pat it dry with a clean towel a few times and DRY! In terms of performance, it does a great job! I use L'Occitane en Provence Cade Shaving Soap exclusively and finish with L'Occitane Baume Après Rasage, Cade (Men's Aftershave Balm), 2.5 oz tube. I use Pre de Provence Shea Butter-Infused Shaving Soap in a 5.25 ounce can. when traveling as it has a screw cap. This brush creates swirls of rich lather and seems to exfoliate well. It's not too soft if you're worried about it being too soft. If you have big hands like me then you may have trouble with this brush. The handle is medium. Let's just say I can handle a basketball. But that's really not a problem since I run in foam. You may have trouble frothing in a bowl. I would recommend this brush to anyone considering a silver tip option but want a more economical option.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
