shaving brush

Badger-hair lathering tool

A shaving brush is a small brush with a handle and soft, dense bristles used to apply lather to the face before shaving with a razor.

Traditional shaving brushes use badger hair, boar bristles, or synthetic fibers, and are worked in a circular motion to lift facial hair and create a rich foam from shaving soap or cream.

Once a bathroom staple, shaving brushes declined with the rise of aerosol shaving cream but remain popular among wet-shaving enthusiasts.
