While silvertip badger is touted as the most “prestigious” grade used in shaving brushes, due to its softness and (relative) rarity, Best Badger holds the distinction of being the most popular. Although price is a factor, we believe that best badger’s popularity owes more to its versatility. Most men seem to appreciate a shaving brush that has enough backbone and “scrubbiness” to feel that it is slightly exfoliating, but enough softness to feel luxurious at the same time. Sitting at the middle ground between silvertip and pure badger, Best Badger fills this niche, and provides excellent lathering performance while doing so. This hand-assembled brush features a knot of best badger fitted to a handle turned from high quality plastic with a faux tortoise pattern, and is an excellent and versatile introduction to the joys of lathering with a shaving brush. Kaliandee is a specialist retailer of traditional wet-shaving supplies from manufacturers old and new, high quality grooming tools, and men’s gifts. While we believe that many of the high end products available from the big names in traditional wet shaving are very good value, we recognize that they are not affordable for everyone. Our own line of shaving tools is intended to provide good quality options that are accessible for more budget conscious wet shavers.
