Shaving Brushes For Sensitive Skin

The Best Shaving Brushes For Sensitive Skin

At Executive Shaving we recommend the use of synthetic shaving brushes to all our customers, no matter your skin type. However, there are some very clear features which make synthetic brushes the best shaving brushes for sensitive skin. 

Traditionally, shaving brushes were made from animal hair, most commonly badger hair. However, animal hair can irritate some skin types, especially sensitive skin. Synthetic fibres do not carry the same risk of irritation as an animal hair brush does.

Our synthetic shaving brushes benefit from being incredibly soft on the skin, making them ideal for those who suffer from sensitive skin. Despite being so soft, they still have enough backbone in the bristle to create a good, thick shaving lather from shaving cream or shaving soap.

Other benefits of synthetic brushes include they dry quicker than badger brushes, do not carry the same 'wet animal' smell and do not lose bristles like all grades of badger hair brushes do. However, the biggest benefit is that a synthetic brush is the ethical choice too - no animal had to die to for their hair.
