Frequently Asked Questions about Shaving Brushes
Updated: April 2026
Synthetic or natural brush?
Synthetics dry quickly, need no break-in, and are vegan-friendly. Mühle Silvertip Fibre is top quality. Natural (badger) holds more water and gives a luxurious feel.
What is badger hair?
Badger hair has 4 grades: pure, best, super, silvertip (finest). Silvertip is softest and most luxurious. Simpsons and Truefitt & Hill have excellent badger brushes.
What knot size?
For face only, 21-24mm is ideal. For face + head, 26-28mm. Smaller has better control, larger covers faster. Omega offers a wide range of sizes.
How do I build lather?
Wet the brush with hot water, load cream or soap, and swirl in a bowl or directly on face. Add water gradually for desired consistency.
How do I care for the brush?
Rinse well after each use. Shake out water and let dry bristles-down on a stand. Never store wet — it can mold.
Which for beginners?
Mühle Classic Silvertip Fibre is an excellent start — synthetic, easy to use, affordable. Omega boar is the most economical and improves over time.
