TRAVEL
The special travel series, with its best performance characteristics, is particularly lightweight and functional. The screwless parts are perfectly protected when traveling in elegant housing cases made of aluminum or chrome-plated metal.
The bristle type used in travel shaving sets and brushes is made of Silvertip Fibre, which lathers immediately, dries quickly, and is highly durable. To securely accommodate a complete set with a brush and razor, handmade leather cases in Florentine style, available in black or brown, are offered.
Silvertip Fibre®
The high-quality synthetic fibers used here are our own invention and represent a world first. Their material properties offer a synthetic, premium quality that resembles precious natural fibers, specifically badger hair. Most users even say that this quality offers better performance characteristics than natural bristles.
These properties create a pleasant, soft feeling on the skin when applying lather, without sacrificing the desired firmness during the lathering process (it has backbone). In daily use, the handcrafted fibers are less sensitive than natural bristles, as they dry faster and are more resistant to soaps and creams.
Being completely vegan, these fibers last longer than natural bristles (all animal hair brushes). This is because a small amount of shaving soap or cream produces a particularly creamy and thick lather, resulting in less product consumption.
Key features:
If you have animal sensitivities but are looking for a high-performance brush, this is the most ideal brush you can find.
It requires no softening or preparation before shaving. You can just wet it and start using it, which is practical.
If heat retention is not that important to you, meaning hot lather is not a top priority, this brush will truly make you happy with its water retention.
It has soft bristles, highly preferred by those with sensitive skin or who lather on their face.
It is sustainable and vegan.
It produces a remarkably stable lather very quickly. It is a brush with backbone.
As it expels water very quickly, it dries in a short time. Therefore, it is also ideal for travel.
Its maintenance is much easier than natural bristle brushes, and its durability and lifespan are longer.
Usage and Tips
- First, when you buy a new shaving brush, lather it with shaving soap 1-2 times before the first use to remove shelf and manufacturing dust, then rinse it and let it dry in a well-ventilated area.
- Fibre brushes do not require pre-softening as they do not have organic bristles. In this sense, they are quite practical to use. You can simply wet them and start building lather.
- They create lather quickly and dry quickly, making them ideal for travel.
- Start gliding the wet Fibre brush over the cream or soap without shaking off too much water. Continue until you achieve the desired lather, adjusting with a little water or product until you get a whipped cream consistency.
- Then, gently move the brush in circular motions on your face to soften your beard and skin.
- If you shave intermittently and use aggressive razors, it is important to glide the brush on your face for at least 1.5 minutes to prepare for shaving.
- Reapply lather to your face with the brush between each pass.
- After shaving, it is important to rinse the brushes very well. Poorly rinsed brushes can accumulate alkali at the base of the bristles. This, in turn, leads to excessive bristle shedding after a while. This is considered user error.
- To ensure a longer lifespan for your brushes, rinse them thoroughly under running water from all angles, spreading the bristles well at the base, and hang them to dry in a well-ventilated area.
- Fibre brushes should not be expected to retain heat as well as animal hair. Therefore, it is important to be aware of their heat retention capacity and not expose them to hot water.
- Do not expose your brush to water that is too hot for your hand to touch. Boiling water deforms the bristles and damages the adhesive at the base of the brush bristles.
- Do not expose your brushes to any chemicals. Do not leave them wet in a closed environment where they cannot dry.
- A well-maintained Fibre brush can be used for approximately 6-7 years. This period can be extended further depending on usage.
