Joris Briar Wood & Chrome Finish Shaving Brush - High Mountain White

This shaving brush from the Joris collection combines the distinctive character of briar wood with the brilliance of a chrome finish. Its warm reddish-brown handle and natural High Mountain White badger hair knot create a refined shaving accessory, bringing together precious materials and Plisson's traditional craftsmanship. Made and assembled in France, it offers an elegant and lasting interpretation of classic wet shaving.

Prized for its dense grain and distinctive natural patterns, briar wood has long been used in the making of fine smoking pipes. Its warm tones range from golden brown to deep reddish shades, enhanced by flowing grain and irregular markings. Every handle reveals its own unique character. The polished chrome finish creates a luminous contrast, highlighting the depth and natural beauty of the wood.

The natural High Mountain White badger hair knot is distinguished by the exceptional fineness, flexibility and softness of its bristles. Particularly suitable for sensitive skin, it provides gentle contact with the face while helping transform shaving soap or cream into a rich, creamy lather for comfortable shaving preparation.

Available in standard size 12, this shaving brush features a removable, replaceable knot, allowing its precious wooden handle to be enjoyed for years to come. A distinctive combination of briar wood, refined chrome fittings and exceptional softness, designed for the traditional shaving ritual.

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 briar wood handle and its chrome finish, gently wipe the surfaces with a soft cloth after use. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning products and rubbing that could scratch or dull the finishes. 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.

Suitable for all skin types, particularly sensitive skin.
