Joris Olive Wood and Chrome Shaving Brush - European Grey

Part of the Joris collection, this shaving brush combines the natural warmth of olive wood with the brilliance of chrome-finished brass. Appreciated for its golden tones and flowing, sometimes highly contrasting grain, olive wood reveals a distinctive character that makes each handle unique. The combination of these two materials creates a refined balance between natural authenticity and contemporary elegance.

Dense and durable, olive wood lends itself to precision shaping and carefully refined finishes. The handle's elegant, balanced silhouette provides a comfortable grip, while the chrome-finished brass elements add a luminous touch and accentuate its lines.

The shaving brush is filled with natural European Grey badger hair, appreciated for its balance of softness and firmness. More invigorating than High Mountain White, this grade provides a more stimulating feel against the skin while remaining comfortable. It works shaving soap or cream effectively into a rich, creamy lather while preparing the beard for the razor.

European Grey is particularly suited to those seeking a natural knot with more backbone and a more invigorating feel when preparing for a shave.

A distinctive feature of the Joris collection, this shaving brush is fitted with a removable, screw-mounted knot that can be replaced while retaining the original handle. This thoughtful design helps extend the life of the shaving brush and reflects a lasting approach to craftsmanship.

Offered in size 12, it is a versatile size, ideal for everyday shaving.

Handmade and assembled in the Plisson workshops 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 olive wood handle and chrome-finished elements with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid prolonged contact with water, abrasive products and harsh detergents to preserve the appearance and finish of the materials. Also avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

The removable, screw-mounted knot can be replaced when it shows signs of wear, without replacing the handle. Handle the mechanism carefully, without forcing it when screwing or unscrewing.

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.

Suitable for all skin types, particularly for those seeking a natural badger hair knot that balances softness, firmness and backbone.
