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

This shaving brush from the Joris collection combines the distinctive beauty of thuja wood with the luminous brilliance of a chrome finish. Its warm tones and naturally expressive grain give each handle an individual character, while the High Mountain White Fibre knot brings exceptional softness to the traditional shaving ritual. Handcrafted in France, it reflects Plisson's expertise in bringing together natural materials, timeless elegance and artisanal craftsmanship.

Highly prized in fine cabinetmaking and the decorative arts for its remarkable grain patterns, thuja wood reveals a rich palette of golden, amber and brown tones, with irregular markings that make every piece unique. Particularly figured sections may display intricate swirling patterns, adding depth and movement to the wood's natural appearance. The carefully finished surface highlights these distinctive characteristics, while the chrome details create an elegant contrast between the warmth of the wood and the cool brilliance of the metal. The gently contoured handle offers a comfortable, precise grip for the daily shaving ritual.

High Mountain White Fibre has been developed to recreate the softness and suppleness of the finest natural badger hair. Its exceptionally delicate tips provide a gentle sensation against the skin, particularly for sensitive skin, while the structure of the fibres offers sufficient resilience for effective lather preparation. Its excellent lathering properties allow shaving soaps and creams to be worked into a rich, dense and creamy lather that spreads evenly across the face. Free from animal hair, this synthetic fibre is also durable, easy to maintain and quick to dry.

Available in the versatile standard size 12, this shaving brush features the removable, screw-mounted knot system characteristic of the Joris collection. The knot can be replaced when necessary, allowing the original thuja wood handle to be preserved over time. This thoughtful construction celebrates the individuality of the natural wood and extends the pleasure of using a refined shaving instrument, carefully handcrafted and assembled 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.
