Original Lazuli Shaving Brush - European Grey

This shaving brush from the Original collection pays tribute to the world of lapis lazuli, a deep blue stone admired since Antiquity. Its royal blue resin handle, paired with a natural European Grey badger hair knot, combines elegance, distinctive character and traditional craftsmanship. Handmade and assembled in France, it reflects the heritage of Maison Plisson.

In ancient Egypt, lapis lazuli was associated with divine power and the force of life. Its intense blue also recalls Napoleon Blue, a colour linked to Plisson's history and its relationship with the Emperor. Inspired by this symbolic heritage, the resin handle captures the depth and subtle contrasts of the stone without containing genuine lapis lazuli. Its iconic silhouette provides a comfortable, secure grip.

The natural European Grey badger hair knot offers a refined balance of softness, firmness and resilience. It provides an invigorating massage during shaving preparation while helping to create a rich, creamy lather from shaving soap or cream. This hair grade is particularly appreciated by those seeking an effective, stimulating traditional shaving experience.

Available in standard size 12, this shaving brush combines the refinement of a design inspired by a legendary stone with the performance of carefully selected natural badger hair. A distinctive grooming accessory designed to bring elegance and character to the everyday shaving ritual.

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 Lazuli resin 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.

Suitable for normal to less sensitive skin, particularly for those who enjoy an invigorating massage during shaving preparation.
