Natural Bristle Shaving Brush nom ALFRED 15 PA

The nom ALFRED 15 PA is built for users who enjoy a substantial handle and the brisk, invigorating character of natural boar bristle. Its larger, rounded ash-wood handle fills the palm comfortably and gives secure control while whipping soap or cream into lather. The generous 25mm knot provides the most pronounced massaging effect in the natural-bristle range, helping lift stubborn stubble and load firm shaving soaps efficiently. With repeated use the bristles gradually split at the tips and become noticeably softer, allowing the brush to develop its own well-broken-in character. The ash wood is protected with a dark coating that adds a restrained accent while preserving the honest, practical spirit of this approachable traditional wet-shaving brush.

Who is it for?

For users who prefer a firm, massaging brush, often shave with harder soaps or want an affordable introduction to natural bristle. The larger handle and 25mm knot suit those who enjoy a full brush in the hand.

Who is it not for?

It is not suitable for vegans or anyone avoiding animal-derived materials. Very sensitive skin and users seeking immediate, silken softness may prefer Silvertip Badger or a soft synthetic fibre. New boar bristles require a short breaking-in period.

What does it do?

The firm natural bristles load soap effectively, work air and water into a dense lather and provide an invigorating massage that helps lift the stubble. With regular use, the tips soften while the knot retains useful backbone.

How to use?

Before shaving, soak the bristles in warm water for several minutes, keeping prolonged moisture away from the wooden handle. Shake out excess water, load the brush with soap or cream and build the lather in a bowl or on damp skin. Rinse thoroughly after use, wipe the handle dry and allow the brush to dry fully in a ventilated place, preferably with the bristles facing down.

Material and construction

Long natural boar-bristle knot, ring size 25mm. Ergonomically rounded European ash-wood handle with a protective dark coating.
