Badger hair is a natural material commonly used in the production of high-quality shaving brushes. It is prized for its softness, water retention, and ability to create a rich lather. The hair is collected from different species of badgers, with the most sought-after types being Silvertip, Best Badger, and Pure Badger, each offering varying levels of softness and performance. The use of badger hair in shaving brushes dates back centuries and is favored by traditional wet shavers. Brushes made from badger hair can enhance the shaving experience by providing a gentle exfoliation and helping to lift facial hair for a closer shave.
