Joris Macassar Ebony & Chrome Finish Shaving Brush - High Mountain White

This shaving brush from the Joris collection combines the rich character of Macassar ebony with the brilliance of a chrome finish. Its naturally contrasting wooden handle and High Mountain White badger hair knot create an exceptional shaving accessory, bringing together precious materials and Plisson's traditional craftsmanship. Handmade and assembled in France, it embodies timeless elegance.

Native to the tropical regions of Indonesia, Macassar ebony is a precious wood prized for its density and striking natural grain. Deep, almost black bands alternate with warmer brown tones, creating distinctive graphic patterns on every handle. Particularly sought after during the Art Deco period, this remarkable wood remains highly valued in luxury cabinetmaking. Its varnished surface and luminous chrome fittings enhance its sophisticated character.

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 gently works shaving soap or cream into a rich, creamy lather while providing comfortable, delicate contact with the face.

Available in standard size 12, this shaving brush features a removable, screw-mounted knot that can be replaced when needed, allowing its precious wooden handle to be enjoyed for years to come. A refined combination of distinctive materials, exceptional comfort and French artisanal tradition.

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 varnished Macassar ebony 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.
