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

This shaving brush from the Joris collection combines the warmth of thuya wood with the shine of a mirror-polished finish. Its singularly grained handle and natural High Mountain White filling make for a refined shaving accessory, combining elegance and softness. Made and hand-assembled in France, it reflects the traditional savoir-faire of Maison Plisson.

Prized in cabinetmaking for the beauty of its natural patterns, thuya wood stands out for its winding veins and hues ranging from honey to deep brown. The characteristic patterns of its burl create a play of light and depth unique to each piece. Paired with mirror-polished brass elements, this precious wood reveals a warm, contemporary aesthetic in which each handle has a unique identity.

The pure badger High Mountain White filling, a rare and prestigious quality, is characterised by the extreme fineness, suppleness and softness of its natural hairs. Particularly suited to sensitive skin, it provides a gentle massage and makes it easy to build a generous, creamy lather from a shaving soap or cream.

Offered in standard size 12, this shaving brush has a removable screw-in knot, replaceable to extend the life of its handle. A combination of noble materials and comfort to accompany traditional shaving for years to come.

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 wooden 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 seeking an exceptionally soft and flexible natural badger hair knot.
