Heritage Bubinga Wood High-Mounted Shaving Brush - Russian Grey

This shaving brush from the Heritage collection celebrates bubinga, an African wood admired for its rich tones and distinctive grain. Paired with a natural Russian Grey badger hair knot, it combines Plisson's traditional craftsmanship with a warm, characterful design. Made in France, it brings a touch of timeless elegance to the daily shaving ritual.

Native to Africa, bubinga is distinguished by its reddish-brown hues, subtle purplish undertones and contrasting grain patterns. Appreciated in fine woodworking and cabinetmaking, this precious wood gives every handle its own individual character. The high-mounted design, slightly taller than Plisson's traditional silhouettes, enhances the natural beauty of the material while providing a comfortable, balanced grip.

The natural Russian Grey badger hair knot is valued for its firmness and resilience. It provides an invigorating massage, particularly appreciated when preparing dense or medium-coarse beards. Its excellent lathering properties help transform shaving soap or cream into a rich, generous lather, preparing the skin and beard for a comfortable traditional shave.

Available in two sizes to suit individual preferences, this shaving brush combines the authenticity of precious wood, a distinctive silhouette and the satisfying sensations of traditional wet shaving. A refined accessory designed for those who appreciate natural materials and a more stimulating shaving experience.

For optimal shaving results, prepare your face with warm water, ideally after a shower, to soften the beard hair and facilitate lather preparation.

With shaving soap: dampen the shaving brush with warm water, then work it in moderate circular motions over the soap, directly in its bowl, without pressing down excessively on the knot. Continue until a rich, creamy lather develops. Apply the lather to the damp face using circular movements for one to two minutes to distribute the product evenly, gently massage the skin, soften the beard hair and lift it in preparation for shaving.

With shaving cream: after dampening the shaving brush with warm water, place a small amount of cream onto the tip of the knot. Work the cream directly onto the face using circular motions for one to two minutes. Alternatively, apply a small amount of cream to each cheek or into a shaving bowl before working it into a lather with the brush.

Once the lather has been evenly distributed, shave using your preferred razor with precise, controlled movements and without excessive pressure. Reapply shaving lather before any additional pass.

After each use, rinse the knot thoroughly with warm water to remove all traces of shaving soap or cream. Avoid very hot water, which may damage the shaving brush knot.

Gently remove excess water by lightly pressing the knot between your fingers, without pulling or twisting it. Then carefully brush the knot against a clean, dry towel and place the shaving brush on a suitable stand with the knot facing downwards to encourage thorough drying.

To preserve the appearance of the wooden handle, gently wipe its surface with a soft cloth after use. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning products and rubbing that could scratch or dull the material. Do not leave the shaving brush immersed in water for prolonged periods.

Choose soaps and creams specifically formulated for traditional wet shaving and avoid products with an excessively acidic pH, as they may weaken the shaving brush knot and accelerate wear. Store your shaving brush in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from persistent moisture.

Particularly suited to normal to less sensitive skin, for those who enjoy an invigorating massage during shaving preparation, and to dense or medium-coarse beards.
