Benefits of Using a Shaving Brush

Every morning millions of men around the world face the mirror to remove their facial hair. Anything that makes this easier is worth writing about. Shaving has developed into what it is over thousands of years, but the best part is, that in contemporary times, there is much less blood spilled in the process. This is due to the many advancements in the equipment used for this task. Razors have become much less hostile, with the invention of triple and quad bladed razors as well as electric razors. For those who like to shave wet, the lathering soaps work well and are easy to use. So why not simply use the electric razor?
The main reason being that a closer shave is usually achieved using a razor. No doubt the electric razors will continually improve.

When using a razor, it is best to lather the area being shaved with the appropriate soap. This is applied with a shaving brush, using s circular motion allowing a close, comfortable and enjoyable shave. The higher the quality of the shaving brush, the higher the lather and water load that it can carry, making the shave quicker. The user does not have to continually get more soap from the shaving mug. The more water the shaving brush holds the richer and moister the lather will be. The thicker the lather, the easier the shave, as there is less drag on the razor and the razor has no chance of missing the bristles. The greatest benefit from shaving brushes is the tendency to soften and lift the bristles, which cannot be achieved by applying the lather by hand. In fact, when applying the lather with the hand, the bristles are flattened, making it more difficult to shave quickly.

A man's face is a personal space and most men will develop a technique that suits them best. If one chooses to use the wet method for shaving, purchasing a high quality shaving brush will make the process easier. Traditional shaving brushes were invented in France and only badger hair was used in them. This type of brush is still available, however the price is very high for the top of the range, silvertip badger hair shaving brush. For most applications modern synthetic blended shaving brushes will do the trick. There is also a need to purchase a soap mug, in order to produce the lather, although many use shaving lotions and gels that come in a pressure pack.

Shaving brushes can be purchased from men's shops, chemists, pharmacies and reputable online sellers.
