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

Inspired by the elegance of traditional grooming accessories, the Retro Lacquered model from the Joris collection combines the graphic character of a black and white striped lacquered handle with the luminous brilliance of a chrome finish. Its refined silhouette and High Mountain White Fibre knot create a shaving instrument in which the charm of the past meets contemporary comfort.

The Retro Lacquered model draws inspiration from the aesthetic of traditional grooming sets and classic shaving accessories. Its distinctive black and white stripes evoke the refined objects once found in elegant dressing rooms and on gentlemen's dressing tables, when every instrument was chosen as much for its beauty as for its purpose. The alternating colours create an instantly recognisable graphic rhythm, at once classic, bold and timeless.

The lacquered finish enhances the precision of the lines and the striking contrast between the two colours. Its smooth, glossy surface accentuates the definition of the striped pattern and gives the handle a distinctive visual presence. Far from being merely nostalgic, this vintage-inspired aesthetic also complements contemporary bathroom interiors, bringing character and sophistication to the daily grooming ritual.

Chrome-finished metal elements complete the composition. Their silvery brilliance highlights the contours of the handle and creates a luminous transition between the striped decoration and the shaving knot. The combination of black, white and chrome achieves a harmonious balance, with an elegance rooted in carefully considered contrasts and proportions.

True to the spirit of the Joris collection, this shaving brush combines aesthetic refinement with everyday comfort. Its handle provides a pleasant, balanced grip, allowing precise and controlled movements during shaving preparation. The attention devoted to its assembly and finishing reflects Plisson's commitment to the quality of its shaving instruments.

This shaving brush is fitted with High Mountain White Fibre, a synthetic fibre developed to recreate the exceptional softness and suppleness of the finest natural badger hair. Its remarkably soft tips provide a gentle sensation against the skin, while the structure of the fibres offers sufficient resilience for effective lather preparation. Particularly suitable for sensitive skin, this knot is also an excellent choice for those seeking an alternative free from animal hair.

Thanks to its excellent lathering properties, High Mountain White Fibre works shaving soap or cream into a rich, dense and creamy lather. Its suppleness allows the lather to be distributed evenly across the face, helping to soften and lift beard hair in preparation for shaving. The fibres are also easy to maintain and dry quickly, making them especially practical for everyday use.

As with other shaving brushes in the Joris collection, the knot is removable and secured by a screw fitting. It can be replaced when necessary, allowing the lacquered handle of the Retro model and its chrome finish to be preserved over time. This thoughtful construction extends the useful life of the shaving brush and reflects an approach to craftsmanship centred on lasting quality.

Available in size 12, the versatile standard size, this shaving brush offers a harmonious balance of handling comfort, generous knot volume and application precision. Its elegant silhouette and exceptionally soft knot make it particularly enjoyable for the daily wet shaving ritual.

Handcrafted and assembled in the Plisson workshops in France, this Joris Retro Lacquered shaving brush with Chrome Finish combines the spirit of traditional grooming accessories, the elegance of a distinctive graphic design and the comfort of High Mountain White Fibre. A refined creation in which vintage charm meets the excellence of French 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.
