Kent Pure Badger Silver Tip Bristle Shaving Brush Medium

This is a very luxurious shaving brush. The model I received was the BK8 model which I chose as a replacement for my 10 year old brush that had finally died. The bristles are silvertip grade (even though Kent Brushes label it pure badger to simply denote no substitutes in the knot). The brush is excellent for face and bowl lathering. I'm usually a face latherer and the brush when splayed on the face is like a luxurious pillow massaging and lathering. It builds up a lather quickly and easily. The brush does retain a lot of water and so I tend to shake the brush before loading up with shaving soap. The brush lathers in the bowl more than adquately as the loft is not short. You can slop the cream around the face lathering, exfoliating and painting on! Its a great all rounder and is the only brush I really need. The brush is really impressive especially when fully lather loaded. I use a hard soap (MWF shaving soap) to shave and the brush needs to retain more water than normal for this soap - no problems in building a lather. The brush is sizeable but not that it hinders practical use. I wanted a renowned and credible brush that was luxurious, looked impressive and can actually be a great daily brush - the Kent BK8 is it. This brush is a joy to use. Revel in its luxury.

Really nice quality and smooth. Very soft, a little tricky to lather up off a block of soap / whip up in a bowl. Although how soft it is, now I just lather up on my face and becuase it's so soft, feels luxurious.

Had two of these brushes now. The first one was fine for a couple of months and was a joy to use producing a luxurious lather. However, it then started shedding hairs like it was going out of fashion. This was replaced by Kent directly. Unfortunately, the same has happened again and the second one is now significantly moulting. Given that this is towards the top end price wise, I am disappointed at the quality of the product. This too will be returned and I will now get an alternative manufacturers brush.

WOW, what a great shaving brush, i got the medium size and was worried that i got the wrong one as it may be to small, but when i arrived then its just perfect for me. If you use it properly then it applies a great lather to you chops and feels lovely. I have a cheap man made one and you would be surprised with how different it feels. The case is a nice red leather number that looks proper posh!! I would advise buying a holder for it for when you have finished. It will last longer as you don't want to be buying more of these when they are this expensive

I’ve been using a budget brush for a couple of years with pretty good results and decided to upgrade. After a bit of research I decided on the Kent BK8. I’ve used it everyday now for a week and am really impressed. I note some reviews describe it as brushing your face with a cloud and to be honest that’s a great description. If feels really nice and needs very little product to get a great lather. I’ve used cream, hard soap and also a stick where I lathered up directly onto my face, all with excellent results. A really fabulous tool in my ever expanding shaving kit.

This BK8 has now replaced the Kent BK4 as my favorite brush. It actually surpasses (IMHO) the BK4 in terms of sheer softness and the BK8's larger size creates more of a "brushing with a pillow" effect. It did take me a week or two to fine tune the water/soap ratio and amount as my early attempts were disappointing. Using soaps exclusively (MWF, Harris, TOBS, L'Occitane), I gently shake out excess water from the brush and give it a moderate pinch at the knot, and then gently load the tips for about 10-20 seconds so that enough product covers the tips nicely. Then it's bowl lathering for about 45 seconds or so until the lather reaches a glorious consistency and volume. The extraordinary softness of this brush really works well for me as a daily wet shaver with mild to moderate hair thickness. The BK8 has great flowthrough; it paints lather on your face with extreme smoothness - absolutely no scritch or scrubbiness; you don't even now the bristles are there! While these characteristics suit my individual preferences to a tee, they may not be optimal for others who prefer to "feel" the brush on their face or who favor a dense knot with strong backbone (although I wouldn't describe the BK8 as floppy).

I decided that it was worthy to spend money on a top quality brush, but no sooner I started using the brush it began to shed hairs massively, no matter how well I took care of it (hanging the brush upside down, etc.). I put some pics that speak themselves.

I got it as a present for my birthday from my wife. Before I never used badger brushes. This shaving brush is soft in comparison to my previous one. The size is much bigger than my previous brush, it is like two sizes of my previous one. I think that small size would be excellent choice. Now I start morning with more comfortable shaving. Recommend it.

plus aucune irritation cutanée depuis que je suis passé au blaireau et savon. ce modèle est extrêmement doux, ne perd pas ses poils (6 mois d'utilisation), et possède une boite de rangement pratique et élégante. Cher mais justifié.

Una magnifica brocha, de una de las mejores firmas en artículos de caballero de Inglaterra, calidad y precio van de la mano, presentación y buen gusto

blaireau avec un beau gonflant, très doux. prix élévé mais article de très belle qualité. utilisé un mois, donc vieillissement inconnu à ce jour
