Pure Badger Shaving Brush nom OLE 81 PA

The nom OLE 81 PA proves that simplicity need not feel ordinary. Its softly rounded handle reveals the fine, pale grain of natural ash wood, giving the brush an organic, contemporary character and a comfortable shape that turns naturally in the hand. The 21mm Pure Badger knot uses dark, relatively strong natural hair that remains flexible while providing a more noticeable massage than finer badger grades. It loads shaving soap readily, builds creamy lather and helps lift the stubble when worked directly over the face. OLE is an uncomplicated everyday brush for traditional wet shaving, made appealing by honest materials, balanced proportions and a tactile sense of control.

Who is it for?

For users who want a natural ash-wood handle and a firmer, accessible badger-hair brush. It suits shaving soaps and creams and is particularly effective for face lathering.

Who is it not for?

It is not suitable for those who avoid animal-derived materials. Users with very sensitive skin or those seeking exceptionally soft tips may prefer a finer badger grade or soft synthetic fibre. The natural wooden handle should not be left soaking.

What does it do?

The 21mm Pure Badger knot absorbs water, loads shaving product and introduces air to create a dense lather. Its slightly thicker hairs help lift the stubble and give a pleasant massaging effect without losing flexibility.

How to use?

Moisten the knot in warm water without soaking the handle. Shake out excess water, load with shaving soap or cream and build the lather in a bowl or directly on damp skin. Rinse thoroughly after use, wipe the ash-wood handle dry and leave the brush in a ventilated place, preferably with the knot facing down.

Material and construction
