Original Blue Acetate Shaving Brush - Russian Grey

The Original Blue Acetate shaving brush brings a contemporary touch to the iconic lines of traditional Plisson shaving brushes. Its classic silhouette, characteristic of the Original collection, features a beautifully proportioned handle designed for the daily shaving ritual. Fitted with natural Russian Grey badger hair, it combines timeless design with the firm, effective feel of a traditional shaving brush knot.

The blue acetate gives the handle a distinctive appearance while preserving the understated elegance of classic shaving accessories. Its smooth surface and traditional shape provide a secure, comfortable grip. The balanced curves make it easy to perform the circular movements required to build and apply shaving lather, while its compact proportions allow precise handling. The overall design reflects a simple, enduring aesthetic, free from unnecessary decoration.

The Russian Grey knot is made from natural badger hair, selected for its firmness and resilience. It provides an invigorating massage when applying lather and helps lift beard hair in preparation for shaving. Particularly suitable for medium to coarse beards and less sensitive skin, it effectively works shaving soap or cream into a rich, creamy lather. Its balance of firmness and flexibility makes it a practical choice for traditional wet shaving.

Available exclusively in size 10, this shaving brush offers a compact format that is well suited to daily shaving across the entire face. Made in Plisson's workshops in France, it embodies the spirit of the Original collection: a functional, enduring shaving accessory rooted in the tradition of wet shaving.

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 blue acetate handle, gently wipe its surface with a soft cloth after use. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning products and rubbing that could scratch or dull the material. 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.

Normal to less sensitive skin, particularly suitable for medium to coarse beards.
