Baxter of California Silver Tip Badger Shave Brush is made from 100% natural, fine SILVER TIP badger hair, soft and durable. Second to the razor blade, the Badger Hair Shave Brush is the essential tool used to achieve the best shave possible. Badger hair has a great ability to retain water (which helps create a lather when mixed with a shave cream) improving the barrier between the razor and skin, lifting facial hair to ensure a smoother shave with less irritation. Made in Germany.
