THE ULTIMATE SHAVING BRUSH Based on Plisson Synthetic Shaving brushes

Design 100 Introducing this NZ handcrafted shaving brush using the finest synthetic hair inset into a handle made of Black Matai one of New Zealand's beautiful native woods this wood was found in a river and dried. The black colour comes from the mineral content in the water changing the colour of the wood over a very long period of time.

What makes our wooden handles different from other shaving brushes is that the wood used for the handles has been stabilized in a process which involves the wood being placed in a vacuum chamber with heat activated resin which fills all the wood pores. The wood is then heated to 93 degrees Celsius which hardens the resin inside the wood. This makes the wood from 10% to 60% heavier depending on the wood density. This process produces a very stable handle whick will not crack over time. We then turn the handle. The last process is to then cover the handle with a two-part resin which brings out the beautiful grain and creates a water repellent and very stable handle which will give many years of service.

I have been using a 22 mm knot in this synthetic fiber inset into one of our handles now since December, it is the only brush I use now. It has back bone, keeps its shape, the fibers spread easily on the face and it creates an amazing amount of foam with a good quality shaving soap or cream and work's great with our shaving cream.
