Odyssee Shaving Brush Royal Palissander & Palladium

Beautiful combination of Royal palissander and solid brass with a Palladium finish makes this shaving brush a real object of desire. Design both elegant and ergonomic. The treasured wood species, resistant to moisture, brings an exotic touch to Plisson’s original line. The removable knot lets you choose from three types of bristles available for this model: - pure European white badger hair, very soft and flexible, just perfect for preparing a sensitive skin for shaving ; - pure European Grey badger hair, a little bit firmer and more polyvalent, very efficient during the preparation of the lather as well as during its application on your face ; Available in one standard size (12) well suited to everyday use. Comes in an assorted beautiful packaging. Matching razor available separately. Handcrafted in France.

The best moment to shave is in the morning, just after a shower and before breakfast: your hair, consisting mainly of keratin, are softer and easier to cut, and the skin of your face less fragile. Prepare your shaving foam by loading the brush with soap or shaving cream. Use of products called " shaving preparation " is twofold: it boosts hydration of the hair by removing its fat layer (sebum) and secondly, protects your skin from the aggression of the blade.
 

With shaving soap: Your face is beforehand wet (ideally after a shower), quickly place your brush under warm water and lather the soap inside the bowl (without crushing the hair) until obtaining a thick and creamy lather. Apply it to your face in circular motions for a minute or two, the time to soften and straighten enough the hair from your beard.

With shaving cream: Once your face prepared and the shaving brush moistened with warm water, put a small amount of cream on top of the brush and lather the face for one to two minutes as described above. Some users prefer to file directly a trace of cream on each cheek with the tube, then they emulsify it with the brush.

To maintain the quality of your shaving brush for many years, we recommend rinsing it well after each use to remove all traces of cream or soap and to drain it. Then rub it gently on a towel before putting it upside down on a suitable stand.
