Frequently Asked Questions about Badger Brushes
Updated: April 2026
Why badger instead of synthetic?
Badger brushes absorb water better, create denser lather and retain warmth longer. They offer gentle exfoliation and improve with time. Synthetics are easier to maintain.
What are the badger grades?
From entry-level to premium: Pure Badger (firm, affordable), Super Badger (softer), Silvertip (luxurious, soft). Price increases with hair quality.
How do I choose size?
Larger knots (24-28mm) hold more lather — ideal for head or quick coverage. Smaller (20-22mm) offer precision and are better for travel. For daily use, 22-24mm is versatile.
How do I care for it?
Rinse well with lukewarm water after use. Shake excess and let dry on a stand with bristles down. Avoid hair dryer and direct sun. Lasts 10-20 years.
