Essentiel Shaving Brush - Russian Grey - 9 Colours

Designed as an elegant introduction to traditional wet shaving, the Essentiel shaving brush combines the classic Plisson shape with a light, durable acetate handle. Available in a wide palette of colours, it lets everyone choose the shade that suits their style while keeping the Maison's timeless lines.

The brush is filled with natural Russian Grey, a firm, invigorating grade appreciated for its backbone and stimulating action on the skin. It works soap or cream effectively into a rich, creamy lather, while helping to lift the beard and prepare the skin for the razor.

Russian Grey is particularly suited to medium to coarse beards and to those looking for a firm natural knot with more backbone and a stimulating feel when preparing for a shave.

Its acetate handle offers a pleasant, lightweight grip. Offered in size 12, Plisson's standard format, this balanced and versatile model is particularly suited to everyday use.

Hand-assembled in the Plisson workshops and made in France.

For an optimal shave, thoroughly wet the shaving brush with warm water, ideally after a shower when warmth and moisture have helped soften the beard hair and prepare the skin.

Work your shaving soap or cream into a rich, creamy lather using circular motions.

Apply the lather evenly to damp skin using circular motions. The shaving brush helps lift the beard hair, distribute the lather evenly and gently prepare the skin for shaving.

After each use, rinse the shaving brush knot thoroughly with warm water to remove any remaining soap or shaving cream. Avoid excessively hot water, which may affect the qualities of the natural hair.

Gently shake off excess water without pulling on the hair, then lightly dry the knot on a bath towel. Place the shaving brush on a suitable stand with the knot facing downwards to encourage proper drying and preserve its qualities over time.

Gently wipe the acetate handle after use with a soft, dry cloth to preserve its appearance and finish. Avoid abrasive or aggressive products that may damage its surface.

The choice of shaving soap is also important: an excessively acidic pH can weaken the hair and lead to premature shedding. Choose a soap or cream suitable for traditional wet shaving to help preserve the qualities of the knot over time.

Particularly suitable for those seeking a firm and invigorating natural knot. Russian Grey is especially well suited to medium to coarse beards and to a more stimulating shaving preparation.
