Shaving Brush, Professional Pure Bristle Brush for use with Shaving Cream, Made in Italy

The Proraso Professional Pure Shaving Brush is a fantastic choice for both beginners and experienced wet shavers. It has a solid, well-balanced handle that feels comfortable and secure in the hand, making daily use a pleasure. The pure bristles are firm enough to load soap easily while still being gentle on the skin. They create a rich, creamy lather quickly, whether used with shaving soap or cream, and provide a nice exfoliating feel without being harsh. Durable, easy to clean, and built to last, this brush delivers reliable, consistent performance every time. With Proraso’s trusted quality and classic design, it offers excellent value for money and professional-level results at home. Highly recommended.

I don't usually write reviews, but this is an exceptional brush for the price point. I bought mine in 2020, so 5 years old now, and it's still going strong. I expect another 10-15 years out of it at least. I have tweaked my methods to whip lather, but over the years I have deduced the most luxurious method below. A caveat, it takes a bit of time. Boil water in your kettle. Place your brush downward facing into a deepish bowl or mug. Fill the bowl or mug with the brush in it with the boiling water until the water sits above the brush (not the handle). Give it 20-30 seconds, then tip out the water from the bowl. Careful - this is boiling water remember. Give the brush a quick flick but make sure you retain most of the water on the brush. Add shaving cream to the bottom of the moist bow/mug. Using the brush, go into circular motions into the bowl/mug and whip out some lather for about 15-30 seconds. Then apply it to your face and will feel this amazingly warm and soft cream exfoliate your skin and provide protection. Without a doubt, the best part of the shave. You feel in heaven. You can repeat this warm lathering another time if you want. Overall, a fantastic product that makes shaving great. Highly recommend.

Decent enough brush at a reasonable price. However, it shed bristles from the very first use.

Decided to go back to a wet shave with brush and cream and this brush is perfect.

If you’re new to wet shaving, I’d highly recommend picking up a boar or a decent synthetic brush. This boar brush is good quality, (after breaking it in, there are videos online on how to do this) it is nice to use and is very exfoliating, works great with hard soaps. It hasn’t lost any bristles yet, the knot seems dense and backbone is great. If you want super soft bristles and don’t like a scratchy bristles, go for badger or synthetic, personally I like all types of brushes, they aren’t necessarily better than one another, just different but YMMV.

Bought this to replace my long time badger hair brush. Completely different feel as this brush hair (boar?) is much stiffer than the badger hair. Initial impression is good and hopefully will give as good service as the old one.

I LOVE proraso products they are value items but always quality . This shave brush was cheap £9.50 with small discount ( normally £10 ish ) the pictures look great the reality though is the handle is chrome plastic ( think shower head ) with a very noticeable injection moulding seam running the entire length of the handle . Now in fairness the product is fine and does the job adequately . However it’s a shame the handle was not real chromed metal , even @£10 price point that is doable and still profitable for the brand .The brush itself is probably outsourced and made in China judging by the poorish made to a price quality . Buy it if you want an adequate but cheap shaving brush . if you want good quality that will look great in your bathroom for years to come buy something else . 5/10 for quality. 8/10. For functionality.if I had a brand like proraso I would not sully the brand with this cheaply made compromise of a product . You pays your money you make your choice . *edit*. Seems this product is actually made in Italy It appears , alas it’s still made to cheap Chinese standards , disappointingly so .

Very good brush
