As with all Edwin Jagger shaving brushes these are hand made in Sheffield, England, from finest quality polyester material and are filled with carefully selected best badger hair. The handles are turned, by hand, on a lathe then smoothed and polished to a high luster. Best badger hair is an excellent quality for those wet shavers who prefer a gentle exfoliating effect. This shaving brush comes stored in a matching, lightweight screw top tube, with ventilation hole, to protect the hairs during travel. A perfect gift or purchase for todays busy travellers.
