Product Overview

Progress Vulfix 849 Pure Badger Shaving Brush

Product

The #849 in dark coloured Pure Badger is an exceptional value and a very popular member of the Vulfix line. The Vulfix #849 compares favorably to the best brushes from other makers selling for more than three times the price! The gold circlet that separates the bristle from the handle is a delicate accent, and complements gold razors and fixtures. The heavy cream coloured handle is lathe turned and polished by hand to a brilliant lustre. The excellent water holding capacity of this quality brush means you can quickly produce a rich moist lather that will well prepare your beard for a close comfortable shave.

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

Whilst taking a shower, soak your shaving brush in hot water. When you are finished your shower, both your stubble and brush will be ready for a shave!

Brand Information

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.

    Great little brush

    Posted by Brian on 13th Apr 2021

    These are great little shaving brushes, soft and really good with the lather. My previous one lasted at least 10 years I think, and this looks just as well made.
