Joris Retro Lacquered Shaving Brush - Chrome Finish - High Mountain White Fibre

Inspired by the elegance of the grooming accessories of yesteryear, the Retro Lacquered model from the Joris collection combines the graphic character of a lacquered handle with black and white stripes and the luminous gleam of a mirror-polished finish. Its refined silhouette and its High Mountain White Fibre knot create a shaving instrument in which the charm of antique objects meets contemporary comfort.

The Retro Lacquered model draws its inspiration from the aesthetics of traditional grooming kits and shaving accessories. Its interplay of black and white stripes recalls the elegant objects that once accompanied men's grooming rituals, when each instrument was chosen as much for its beauty as for its function. The alternating colours create an instantly recognisable graphic rhythm, at once classic, bold and timeless.

The lacquered finish highlights the crispness of the lines and the depth of contrast between the shades. Its smooth, glossy surface accentuates the precision of the pattern and gives the handle a distinctive presence. Far from being merely a nostalgic nod, this vintage-inspired aesthetic sits naturally in a contemporary bathroom, where it adds a touch of character and sophistication.

The metal elements with their mirror-polished finish complete this composition. Their silvery gleam outlines the contours of the handle and creates a luminous transition between the striped pattern and the knot. The combination of black, white and mirror-polished metal forms a harmonious whole, whose elegance rests on a mastery of contrast and well-judged proportions.

True to the spirit of the Joris collection, this shaving brush combines aesthetic refinement with comfort in use. Its handle offers a pleasant, balanced grip, allowing you to carry out the gestures of shave preparation with precision. The care taken over its assembly and finishes reflects the attention Plisson pays to the quality of its instruments.

This model is fitted with High Mountain White Fibre, a synthetic fibre developed to reproduce the softness and suppleness of the most delicate natural hair. Its particularly soft tips feel pleasant against the skin, while its structure holds up well while building the lather. It is particularly suited to sensitive skin and to those who prefer an alternative free from animal hair.

Thanks to its excellent lathering ability, this fibre lets you work a shaving soap or cream efficiently to obtain a dense, generous and creamy lather. Its suppleness makes for even application on the face and helps soften the beard hair before the razor passes. It also has the advantage of being easy to care for and quick to dry.

The knot is removable and screws into place, in keeping with the design of the shaving brushes in the Joris collection. It can be replaced when necessary, so that the lacquered handle and its mirror-polished finish can be kept for many years. This design extends the life of the instrument and enhances an object designed to accompany the shaving ritual over the years.

Offered in size 12, a particularly versatile standard size, this shaving brush strikes a harmonious balance between a comfortable grip, a generous knot and precise application. Its elegant silhouette and the softness of its knot make it an instrument suited to daily use.

Made and hand-assembled in the Plisson workshops in France, this Joris Retro Lacquered and Chrome Finish shaving brush combines the spirit of traditional grooming accessories, the elegance of a graphic pattern and the comfort of High Mountain White Fibre. A creation in which the charm of the past meets the high standards of artisanal craftsmanship.

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: thoroughly dampen the High Mountain White Fibre knot with warm water, then work the brush in circular motions over the soap, directly in its bowl, without pressing down excessively on the fibres. Continue until a rich, dense and creamy lather develops. Apply the lather to the damp face using circular movements for one to two minutes to distribute the product evenly, soften the beard hair and gently 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 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 synthetic fibres.

Gently shake the brush to remove excess water, then lightly brush the knot against a clean towel without pulling or crushing the fibres. Place the shaving brush on a suitable stand with the knot facing downwards to encourage thorough drying.

To preserve the lustre of the lacquered handle and its chrome finish, gently wipe both surfaces with a soft cloth after use. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning products and any rubbing that could scratch the lacquer or metal. Do not leave the shaving brush immersed in water for prolonged periods and protect it from excessive heat.

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

Suitable for all skin types, particularly sensitive skin seeking gentle and comfortable shaving preparation.
