Parker 100% Silvertip Badger Mug Shaving Brush with Brush Stand - Extra Dense and Extra Soft Bristles - Long Handle is Perfect for use with Your Shaving Mug (BLACK)

This is without question the nicest shaving brush out of the many I have used now for the last 15 years of wet shaving every morning. The handle is superb, with just enough heft and perfect length. Also the handle is milled, as opposed to formed and therefore has a perfectly flat bottom and sides with no cheap looking seams. The bristles are top of the line with just enough firmness while still being soft on the skin. I really don't think this brush could be improved on, especially at this price point compared to other high quality brushes. May just have to buy a black one to alternate.

Amazing brush. Soft on the skin and lathers quite nicely. Over the course of the last month I’ve lost little to no hairs from this brush. Worth the investment. I imagine it will provide years of reliable use.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Over the years I've used various shaving brushes: synthetic, boar hair, horse hair, and pure badger hair. The bristles have worn short on some, the handles have cracked, the hair have fallen out, and the knots have dropped out of the handles. So I decided it was time to try a 22 knot Parker silver tip badger hair shaving brush. It has been an excellent choice from day one. Quality: There are no issues with hair loss or smell as sometimes can be experienced with a new shaving brush. The thickness of the 22 knot brush allows a very thick creamy lather to be developed very quickly. Although users may find the traditional shaving mug to small to whip up lather. An inexpensive traditional tea cup is narrow enough at the bottom to hold a puck of shaving soap and wide enough at the top to allow the swirling needed to generate a thick rich lather. Value for money: Definitely a great value for the money. If you enjoy treating yourself to a good shave you will certainly be well rewarded for your investment. Even the really cheap shaving brushes will last a few years, so this may well last a lifetime. That means the actual cost is likely less than buying a cheap brush every 2 to 5 years. Durability: Not one dropped hair. This brush is likely to last a lifetime! Design: This brush was picked for the design of the handle. It is a pleasure to use. It feels good in the hand. The brush was also picked because it is the one Parker shaving brush with a 22 knot head. It requires a little more room in the bowl to lather well, but it the thickness and richness of the lather the fuller brush head creates is fabulous! Effectiveness: After 50 years of shaving brush use, it is my opinion that this brush rates as the best I have used! It is worth your investment. But do also invest in a tea cup to replace your shaving mug.

I really love the feel and price of this brush, though it tends to shed quite a bit. Update: The shedding’s slowed down to 1-3 hairs lost per shave, but it’s still kind of annoying. In terms of performance, however, the brush still makes a great lather and is comfortable to use. It’s good if you want something that’s not too expensive and prefer softer bristles. But I wouldn’t recommend it for someone wanting a long-lasting piece.

This is a fantastic genuine silver tip badger shaving brush. It is the perfect length for using with a mug. The shape of the handle is fantastic and it doesn't slip from your hands even when wet. I have been looking for a good replacement for sometime. I have tried Kent, Trumper, Jagger, Simpson, Omega, and Muhle and this one is head and shoulders the best of the lot!

This is only the second brush I have had to buy. My last one lasted 8 years and it was half the price of this one. So I have high hopes for its longevity. It holds a lot of lather with a nice soft feel to my face when applying lather. I have been using it for about a month now and I have only lost about three hairs and none in the past 2 weeks.

This is a very well made brush. I wish the listing stated some measurements on the loft and stiffness on all of these products. It's impossible to make an informed decision based on the listing of these. If they had a shorter loft with a little more backbone I would definitely purchase one of those too.

I use this brush at home where I have a shaving mug with my favorite shaving soap. The brush is particularly soft and the lather foamy and abundant. This brush is moderate sized, when traveling a use a smaller brush and shaving cream from a tube. I am thrilled to have found this brush.

En deux tours de main il fait une vraie mousse abondante et aérée. Rien avoir avec le blaireau que j’avais. Les poils sont très denses et ne se perdent pas.

Took a long time to come but worth waiting for. No problems with bristles coming out.

I have tried several brushes before this one, including the Simpson T3, Parker badger and now this Parker Silvertip brush. It was instantly my favorite and the others just don't compare. Even though it is expensive, it is well worth the price.

Not too sure on the quality of this brush hence the 3 star rating. After only 2 uses, It has shed a lot of hairs and the hairs on the outside of the brush appear to be ‘curling/splaying’ away from the main knot of the brush. Very soft however, but not sure I have just got a bad one.

I enjoy lathering with this brush as it feels good using it & applying the lather. Nice & soft, nice quality. The knot size is good for me as well. When preparing to shave, I don't use very hot water when I soak the brush. A few minutes dunked in warm water works nicely, as I have not lost any bristles.
