Shaving Brush nom GUSTAV 81 CR Pure Badger

nom GUSTAV 81 CR brings the recognisable feel of a natural-hair shaving brush into a simple, approachable everyday design. Its 21mm Pure Badger knot uses resilient natural badger hair: firmer and more tactile than the finer badger grades, yet flexible enough to take up water, load shaving soap efficiently and work cream into a dense lather. The gently waisted cream-coloured handle is made from high-grade plastic, so it is light, easy to clean and secure between wet fingers. This is a practical first natural-hair brush for someone who wants more massage and feedback on the skin than a very soft knot provides.

Who is it for?

For traditional wet shavers who want an affordable natural badger-hair brush, especially for loading firmer soaps and lifting stubble before shaving.

Who is it not for?

Choose another brush if you require a vegan fibre or exceptionally soft tips for very reactive skin.

Choose this if...

...you want a medium-size natural-hair brush with noticeable backbone, a familiar handle shape and straightforward everyday care.

What does it do?

The 21mm knot combines water, air and shaving soap or cream into lather, spreads it around the beard and helps raise the stubble so the razor can work closer to the skin with less unnecessary pressure.

How to use?

Soak the knot briefly in warm, not hot, water and shake out the excess. Load soap or add a small amount of cream, then build lather in a bowl or directly on the face without crushing the knot against the skin. Rinse thoroughly, shake gently, reshape and leave to dry in open air, preferably with the knot facing down.
