Shaving brush Polo PL14 Best Badger – Simpsons

An outrageous but perfectly formed shaving brush for macho men turned in four sizes, filled with either Super (Silvertip) or Best Badger Hair.

The Polo series is superbly equipped for bowl lathering owing to the longer than normal handle lengths & we have been reliably informed by several follically challenged gentlemen that the brushes are also excellent for head lathering.

Polo 14 Best Badger approximate brush specifications:

Overall brush height – 140mm
Handle height – 82mm
Knot loft – 58mm
Knot diameter – 31mm
Weight – 162g

In regards the use & ongoing maintenance of your new Simpson shaving brush, we would recommend the following procedures:

When shaving try using paint brush back & forth strokes for lather building rather than circular ‘mashing’ motions which tend to put additional stress and pressure on the bristles. Excessive force can snap or dislodge bristles from their glue bond. Never leave your brush to soak in water at a temperature higher than your skin would withstand.

• Ensure the shaving brush knot is completely rinsed free of ALL soap or cream residue post shave – Use clear warm water and gently squeeze the base of the knot to determine if all remnants are gone (This will prevent the build-up of mildew).
• Shake the brush gently & lightly stroke the bristles against a very soft towel to remove any excess moisture present within the knot.
• Leave to stand or hang (either is perfectly fine) in a well ventilated area, preferably very near to an open window. Insufficient drying time between shaves WILL result in mildew deep within the knot and eventual hair loss.
• Try an alternate between two brushes if possible to allow a 48 hour drying period.
• Shampoo your brush with normal hair product every month or so to keep it nice and clean.
