A shaving brush is a grooming tool used to apply shaving cream or soap to the face. Typically made from natural or synthetic bristles, it helps create a rich lather, which can soften facial hair and prepare the skin for shaving. The brush's design often includes a handle made from materials like wood, plastic, or metal. Using a shaving brush can enhance the shaving experience by providing better coverage and exfoliating the skin. It also allows for more control over the amount of product used. Many enthusiasts prefer traditional brushes for their effectiveness and the ritualistic aspect of shaving, often associated with wet shaving.
