Product Overview

Vie-Long 16601 White Badger Shaving Brush

Product

The Vie-Long 16601 “Two Bands” White Badger Hair Shaving brush is a great looking brush with classic styling. It features an acrylic handle with a metallic chrome base, and a distinctive white ivory finish. The handle carries the Vie-Long branding badge and holds the Two Bands White Badger hair loft. A beautiful looking brush, packaged in a distinctive gift box complete with stand. Hand Made in Spain.

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

When applying a shaving lather to your skin always use strong circular movements to help soften and raise the hairs and prepare the skin for shaving.

    Will meet exalted expectations

    Posted by Bert on 24th Dec 2016

    First a remark on delivery: this was very fast. Taking Christmas into account I hadn't expected this brush for one or two weeks. How does Maguire manage to get these shipped (in my case to the Netherlands) for so low a price so fast? Second remark: Well packaged. Then to the brush: This is a two band badger, about which I read they usually have decent backbone and are reasonably soft. I dislike a prickly brush, certainly if it gets to the point where you feel as if you're sticking a bunch of needles into your face. The only other badgerbrush I have is a Shavemac 3-band silvertip D01. I wanted another brush to let it fully dry out inbetween shaves. So that's my comparison. This brush has a bit more backbone, is pretty much the same in softness, a bit smaller (mine measures 22mm base with a 48 mm loft). As you would expect it whips up a lather somewhat faster and is a bit more "accurate" in facelathering. I love the look and feel of the handle. So all in all, providing it does not start losing tufts of hair (not a single one on the first shave) in the near future: very highly recommended.
