Octogonal Tile Pattern Palladium Finish Shaving Brush - High Mountain White

Part of the Octogonal collection, this shaving brush features a metal handle with a refined palladium finish, adorned with Plisson's distinctive Tile pattern. Its geometric decoration, formed by a regular arrangement of intersecting lines, creates a subtle interplay of texture, relief and light. The luminous palladium finish accentuates the precision of the design, lending the shaving brush an elegance that is both architectural and timeless.

The Tile pattern is created using the traditional art of guilloché, a decorative technique in which material is carefully removed from the metal surface to engrave precise, intricate designs. Combining artistic expression with technical mastery, this meticulous craftsmanship reveals the richness of the metal and gives the handle a refined texture, as pleasing to the touch as it is to the eye.

The geometry of the Tile pattern complements the distinctive lines of the Octogonal silhouette. Its structured facets and regular guilloché decoration lend the shaving brush a strong visual identity while providing a comfortable, secure grip. The contrast between the precision of the geometric design and the soft reflections of palladium illustrates Plisson's attention to the balance between aesthetics and functionality.

Originally introduced as a limited edition, the Octogonal design became a permanent Plisson collection, celebrated for the purity of its lines. Symbolising the meeting of the square, associated with the Human, and the circle, associated with the Divine, the octagon lends this creation an architectural and symbolic dimension that echoes the geometric expression of the Tile pattern.

The shaving brush is filled with natural High Mountain White badger hair, one of Plisson's most prestigious hair grades. Recognisable by its naturally white tips and exceptional fineness, this premium badger hair is particularly prized for its remarkable softness and flexibility. It provides an exceptionally gentle feel against the skin while offering the qualities needed for effective shaving preparation.

Thanks to its fine texture and excellent lathering properties, High Mountain White badger hair works shaving soap or cream into a rich, creamy lather. Its outstanding softness makes it particularly suitable for sensitive skin and for those seeking a gentle, comfortable and refined shaving experience.

This shaving brush features a removable, screw-mounted knot that can be replaced while retaining the original handle. This design helps extend the life of the shaving brush and preserve its finely decorated guilloché handle over time.

Offered in size 12, Plisson's standard size, it provides a balanced, versatile format particularly suited to everyday shaving.

Handmade and assembled in the Plisson workshops in France.

For an optimal shave, thoroughly wet the shaving brush with warm water, ideally after a shower when warmth and moisture have helped soften the beard hair and prepare the skin.

Work your shaving soap or cream into a rich, creamy lather using circular motions.

Apply the lather evenly to damp skin using circular motions. The shaving brush helps lift the beard hair, distribute the lather evenly and gently prepare the skin for shaving.

After each use, rinse the shaving brush knot thoroughly with warm water to remove any remaining soap or shaving cream. Avoid excessively hot water, which may affect the qualities of the natural hair.

Gently shake off excess water without pulling on the hair, then lightly dry the knot on a bath towel. Place the shaving brush on a suitable stand with the knot facing downwards to encourage proper drying and preserve its qualities over time.

Gently wipe the palladium-finished handle with a soft, dry cloth after use, taking care to preserve the raised details of the guilloché Tile pattern. Avoid abrasive products, rough sponges and harsh detergents that could damage the finish or decoration.

The removable, screw-mounted knot can be replaced when it shows signs of wear, without replacing the handle. Handle the mechanism carefully, without forcing it when screwing or unscrewing.

The choice of shaving soap is also important: an excessively acidic pH can weaken the hair and lead to premature shedding. Choose a soap or cream suitable for traditional wet shaving to help preserve the qualities of the knot over time.

Suitable for all skin types, particularly sensitive skin and for those seeking an exceptionally soft natural badger hair knot for gentle shaving preparation.
