Original Lazuli Shaving Brush - High Mountain White

Part of the Original collection, this Plisson shaving brush combines the captivating depth of a Lazuli finish with the exceptional softness of natural High Mountain White badger hair. Its resin handle, inspired by the appearance of lapis lazuli, displays an intense blue punctuated by golden accents, evoking the beauty of a precious stone whose history spans centuries and civilisations.

Prized since Antiquity for its remarkable deep blue colour, lapis lazuli held a special place in art and the creation of prestigious objects. Particularly treasured in ancient Egypt, it adorned jewellery, amulets and funerary objects, where its colour was associated with the heavens, sacred symbolism and royalty. Its distinctive blue, sometimes scattered with golden pyrite inclusions, made it an enduring symbol of refinement and prestige.

The handle of this shaving brush reinterprets that heritage through a Lazuli-inspired resin. Its royal blue to midnight blue tones and golden accents create a striking pattern reminiscent of the mineral depth and characteristic reflections of lapis lazuli. The polished finish enhances the intensity of its colours and gives the handle a refined lustre. This is a creation inspired by the natural stone, rather than a handle carved from genuine lapis lazuli.

The iconic silhouette of the Original collection balances traditional elegance with decorative character. Its understated lines highlight the visual richness of the handle while providing a comfortable, balanced grip. The contrast between the deep blue resin and the light-coloured knot further enhances the personality of this shaving brush, conceived as both an elegant object and a practical instrument for everyday shaving.

This shaving brush is fitted with natural High Mountain White badger hair, the rarest and most prestigious hair grade offered by Plisson. Recognisable by its naturally white tips, this exceptional hair is prized for its remarkable softness against the skin, combined with excellent suppleness and resilience. It provides an exceptionally gentle sensation, making it particularly suitable for sensitive skin and those seeking the utmost comfort in traditional wet shaving.

The fineness of the natural bristles makes it possible to work shaving soap or cream into a rich, dense and creamy lather. Applied using circular movements, the knot helps distribute the lather evenly, soften beard hair and gently lift it in preparation for the razor, without excessive friction.

Available in size 12, the versatile standard size, this shaving brush offers a harmonious balance of handling comfort and application precision. Its exceptionally soft natural knot transforms shaving preparation into a particularly enjoyable ritual.

Handcrafted in the Plisson workshops in France, this Original Lazuli shaving brush combines the inspiration of a precious stone steeped in history with the incomparable softness of natural High Mountain White badger hair. A refined creation in which rich colours meet the excellence of traditional craftsmanship.

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: thoroughly dampen the natural High Mountain White badger hair knot with warm water, then work the brush in circular motions over the soap, directly in its bowl, without pressing down excessively on the bristles. Continue until a rich, dense and 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 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 weaken the natural badger hair.

Gently shake the brush to remove excess water, then lightly brush the knot against a clean towel without pulling or crushing the bristles. Place the shaving brush on a suitable stand with the knot facing downwards to encourage thorough drying.

To preserve the lustre of the Lazuli finish, clean the resin handle with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive products or harsh cleaning agents. Do not leave the shaving brush immersed in water for prolonged periods and protect it from excessive heat.

Choose soaps and creams specifically formulated for traditional wet shaving and avoid products with an excessively acidic pH, as they may weaken the natural badger hair. Store the shaving brush in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from persistent moisture.

Suitable for all skin types, particularly sensitive skin seeking exceptional softness during shaving preparation.
