How to Care for Your Shaving Brush
- Rinse the brush thoroughly in warm water before first use. Wash with a mild shampoo, just like you would your own hair.
- Never boil your brush — extreme heat can damage both the bristles and the handle.
- Apply the brush with gentle side-to-side strokes on your face — never press straight down, as this can stress and bend the fibres.
- After each use, rinse well with warm (not hot) water to remove all soap residue.
- Flick off excess water and gently blot on a dry towel before storing.
- Store the brush bristle-side down on a brush stand (not resting on its base) so water drains away from the knot.
- Keep the brush out in open air — not in an enclosed medicine cabinet — to allow proper air circulation and prevent mildew.
- If used as a travel brush, remove it from your kit upon returning home and allow it to dry fully before packing away again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a synthetic tuxedo shaving brush and how does it differ from badger hair brushes?
A: A synthetic tuxedo shaving brush uses specially engineered nylon fibres rather than natural badger or boar hair. The "tuxedo" style refers to the two-tone colour presentation of the bristle tips. Compared to badger hair, synthetic bristles are cruelty-free, dry significantly faster, require less water to build a lather, and are generally more resistant to shedding and odour — making them an excellent choice for beginners and seasoned wet shavers alike.
Q: What does "24mm knot diameter" mean and why does it matter?
A: The knot diameter refers to the width of the bristle bundle at its base where it meets the handle. A 24mm knot is a popular mid-size that strikes the ideal balance — large enough to load plenty of lather quickly and cover your face efficiently, yet compact enough to offer good control and precision around the moustache and jawline.
Q: Is this shaving brush suitable for use with both shaving cream and hard soap pucks?
A: Yes! The dense 24mm synthetic knot is versatile enough to work with both soft shaving creams (loaded directly from the tube or a bowl) and hard soap pucks (loaded by swirling the damp brush directly on the soap). The synthetic fibres hold enough water and soap to build a rich, cushioning lather from either format.
Q: Is this brush good for travel?
A: Absolutely. The compact 65mm handle and quick-drying synthetic bristles make this an ideal travel shaving brush. It packs neatly into a toiletry bag, dries fast between uses, and is robust enough to handle the rigours of travel without the delicate care requirements of natural hair brushes. Just remember to let it dry thoroughly before zipping it back into your bag.
