Edwin Jagger Classic Best Badger Hair Shaving Brush 1EJ947SDS

In beginsel prima product. Na verlopp van tijd slijten de haren, waardoor ninder scheerzeep opname.

Je l’utilise depuis quelques mois,
Ce Pure Badger a une bonne tenue et une bonne souplesse. Je l’ai pris en M et correspond bien à la taille indiquée.
Perte de 2-3 poils les 2 premières utilisations (et c’est normal), puis stable.
Bien humidifier (je le mets à tremper dans de l’eau tiède avant de prendre ma douche) et monte la mousse parfaitement (au bol pour ma part).
Pour ceux qui ont le problème de perte de poils continuellement, cela vient du fait que vous le laissez tremper et/ou le rincez dans de l’eau trop chaude! FATAL ERROR ! La touffe étant collée dans le manche, elle se désagrègera si l’eau est continuellement trop chaude.
Pensez aussi à bien le rincer, l’essorer, le secouer et le sécher sur serviette éponge après chaque utilisation.
La petite odeur disparaît au fur et à mesure de l’utilisation.
Conclusion, pour le prix c’est de la balle!
Pour ceux qui le trouvent trop dru, il faudra vous tourner vers du Super Badger ou du Silvertip, mais là ce ne sera plus du tout le même budget.

I bought this product, like all products I purchase on Amazon, based on other reviews. This was my first shaving brush and I am thoroughly satisfied with initial build quality. The accompanying stand is adequate in holding the brush when not in use or drying. It has a simple circular sticker on the back to stick on the bathroom wall or mirror or wherever you’re going to keep your brush. I leave mine on the bathroom counter so I don’t use it.
The bristle quality is very good; it is effective for creating a great foam and exfoliating your face. Water retention is also very good. After soaking completely, I shake off the excess and add a little at a time if necessary. I’ve used it with Taylor of Old Bond Street soaps, Mama Bear scented shaving pucks and VDH pucks. I’ve found that it does a great job creating lather. The size of the loft is adequate and the bristles are well packed. They also retain heat well, even while applying on my face.
Overall I am happy with this brush and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great brush at a very reasonable price.

This is my first shaving brush. I have been using it for 5 months now, as my beginning into DE shaving. The brush is high quality, hand knotted in Sheffield England. It feels soft and smooth on your face and beard and shaving is now a luxury for me, not just a daily chore, the brush softens the hair and works great, you can feel the exfoliation effects…now I know why my wife loves facials. The included stand is very nice and matches perfectly, I am very happy with the stand included. If you want pretty chrome and want to spend buy one, after all this is a bathroom counter accessory. A stand is a must to let your brush air dry properly, with the brush tips down, and you never want to rest the brush on it’s bristles, so even during shaving flip it over to rest it on the counter, once dry completely you can invert your brush on its’ top for storage.

How to choose a shave brush? I knew to go with badger hair from all my research on DE & wet shaving, but picking the quality of badger hair from the 4 types of badger hair qualities was difficult. Better hair is better right? Yes but also very expensive. Well being new to wet shaving I did not want to ruin a very expensive brush, so I eliminated the top two qualities and targeted the best quality brush I could find under $60. This brush was about $45 included a stand and was Best Badger. That was the easy winner.

I also choose a rounded brush over a staight brush, because it would cover more of my face faster, and provide more surface area. The medium size is ideal for my average size face. I lather up in 4 quadrants to keep the face lather wet, a good wet lather is important to a good and comfortable shave. Once you finish a quadrant rinse and move to the next area. Come back at the end and go over any areas you missed, short hairs left, or better yet redo the whole face.

My brush looses an occasional hair which can be either a sign of poor quality or misuse. As I became more experienced, the hair loss from the brush is much less. Maybe one hair a week, it is still a lot but I am not an expert on wet shaving yet either, so for the price and inexperience I think that’s me being to hard on the brush.

If you take care of this brush it should last many years. Being new to wet shaving I have to remind myself not to press too hard so I don’t ruin the brush tips…that ruins your brush. I bought a quality shave cream – Taylor of Old Bond also from Amazon. I started lathering with an old mug, but I was banging the top of the brush annoying my wife and not getting a good lather. I now use a small Pyrex bowl to lather up and that works great, lots of room and I get a great lather….spending a minute to gently work up a good lather is well worth the time.

I love this brush it will sit next to the Jagger 98l DE razor I bought as my first DE razor for many years.
