Progress Vulfix 404b 'Grosvenor' Pure Badger Shaving Brush

Product

The Progress Vulfix 404b Grosvenor is part of the London Series of shaving brushes. Old English classics at their best. The 404b has a dense loft of excellent grade Pure Badger to give a firm brush, perfect for both soaps and creams and good exfoliation of the skin prior to shaving. The loft has fabulous water retention to ensure a luxurious lather. The handle is a simple design classic with a straight format and slight larger middle 'ring' set over a slightly flared base to perfectly finish off the classic look. The handle is lathe turned pure resin with a 'faux ivory' finish reminiscent of the most traditional of shaving brushes. All Progress Vulfix Brushes are Hand Made in Isle of Man, British Isles.

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 aftercare 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

All shaving brushes need to be 'broken-in' and this is achieved simply by using the brush. The more it is used, the more the hairs will soften and split at the ends to create a softer tip

Progress Vulfix

Progress Vulfix is one of the premier and most venerable manufacturers of badger shaving brushes in the United Kingdom. Way back in 1893, when top hats were still the height of fashion and handlebar moustaches roamed the streets of Manchester, the Vulfix Old Original Shaving Brush Company came to life. In 1954, amidst the industrial buzz, the company relocated to the Isle of Man where it has been operating from ever since. 2008 sees the birth of the Progress Shaving Brush (Vulfix) Limited which includes the SImpson brand ........ it's like a soap opera, but with more lather ........ Progress Vulfix is renowned for its hand-crafted shaving products and accessories. Their superb quality is complemented by an excellent value for money and Progress Vulfix has deservedly gained a first class reputation for service in the wet shaving market.   All the brushes are handmade and stamped Vulfix Old Original.
