It features a hand-turned solid Ovangkol wood handle topped with a golden plastic 'brass' collar which holds a high performance Omega 100% hog bristle badger effect loft. This is a larger format brush and the ergonomic design of the handle allows it to be manipulated with ease. A great design from bygone years, but still looks great today Made in Italy. HOW TO USE The brush bristles should be wet (not soaking) before use. Load the loft with soap or cream and apply to the areas to be shaved, using a strong circular motion. This softens the hairs and also raises them ready for shaving. We strongly recommend the following after care for your brush; When finished always rinse the brush under hot water (especially at the base of the bristles) to remove any remaining soap residue which can result in damage to the bristle and cause early shedding of the loft. The brush should then be stored loft facing down to dry. This can be achieved by using a shaving brush stand and prevents the bristles rotting at the base due to moisture. RECOMMENDED FOR Both shaving creams and shaving soaps and all skin types. GROOMING TIP Always store your shaving brush with the loft/bristles pointing down, to allow excess moisture to drain away naturally. This prevents damage caused by damp and helps to extend the life of your brush. DIMENSIONS A. OVERALL HEIGHT 117MM B. LOFT HEIGHT 57MM C. BASE HEIGHT 60MM D. LOFT WIDTH 43MM E.
