European Grey shaving brush and lazuli resin

Lapis lazuli or "star sapphire" is a royal blue stone. This model also pays tribute to Plisson's origins. The colour lazuli echoes the colour of the Emperor, Napoleon blue, which has contributed to Plisson's international renown. 

This model is entirely made in France and assembled by hand in our workshops. The iconic design of the Original collection has been thought out for a comfortable grip. This model is trimmed with a European Grey tuft, one of the most popular bristles in our range. It's ideal for those looking for a close, invigorating shave, as it offers the perfect compromise between softness, briskness and firmness. This tuft also has an emulsifying power that produces a thick, creamy lather. Your skin is stimulated and ready to be shaved. 

•  With the beard soap: Quickly run your shaving brush through warm water and lightly rub the hairs on the soap placed inside the bowl, taking care not to crush them. Do this until you have a thick, creamy lather to apply to your wet face. Use circular motions for one to two minutes to soften and straighten the hair of your beard, making it easier to shave.

• With the shaving cream: Wet your face and moisten the shaving brush with warm water. Once this step is done, place a small amount of cream on the bristles of the brush or directly on your cheeks and start to soap the face, using circular movements for one to two minutes. An emulsifying reaction will occur naturally on your skin, leaving a highly moisturising protective layer. 

To keep your shaving brush looking good for years, be sure to rinse the bristles after each use to remove any traces of cream or soap. Pinch the bristles between your fingers to remove as much water as possible and then rub them lightly on a towel before storing the shaving brush upside down on a suitable stand.
