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

This shaving brush from the Joris collection pairs the singular beauty of thuya wood with the luminous sheen of a mirror-polished finish. Its warm hues and naturally expressive grain give each handle a unique character, while its High Mountain White Fibre knot brings exceptional softness to the shaving ritual. Handmade in France, it embodies the meeting of natural material, elegance and artisanal craftsmanship.

Prized in cabinetmaking and the decorative arts for the richness of its figure, thuya reveals a wood with golden, amber and brown hues, traversed by irregular patterns that make every piece different. Its grain may display highly sought-after swirling movements, characteristic of the most figured parts of the wood. The carefully worked surface highlights this natural depth, while the mirror-polished brass elements create a refined contrast between the warmth of the wood and the coolness of the metal. The curved handle ensures a comfortable, precise grip, suited to the movements of daily shaving.

High Mountain White Fibre was developed to recapture the softness and suppleness of the most delicate natural badger hair. Its particularly soft tips feel pleasant against the skin, especially for sensitive skin, while the structure of the fibres provides good backbone when building the lather. Its excellent lathering ability lets you work a shaving soap or cream into a dense, creamy lather that is easy to spread evenly over the face. Free from animal hair, this synthetic fibre is also durable, easy to care for and quick-drying.

Offered in size 12, a versatile standard size, this shaving brush features the screw-in, interchangeable knot system characteristic of the Joris collection. The knot can be replaced when necessary, so the thuya wood handle can be kept for years to come. This durable design celebrates the uniqueness of the wood and extends the pleasure of using a shaving instrument carefully crafted in the Plisson workshops in France.

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 High Mountain White Fibre knot with warm water, then work the brush in moderate circular motions over the soap, directly in its bowl, without pressing down excessively on the fibres. 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, 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 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 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 natural beauty of the thuja wood and the brilliance of the chrome finish, gently wipe the handle with a soft cloth after use. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning products and do not leave the wooden handle immersed in water for prolonged periods. Protect the shaving brush from extreme temperature changes and persistent moisture.

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.

Suitable for all skin types, particularly sensitive skin.
