Proraso Shaving Brush

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.

Great enough.

Excellent brush makes a good lather can ask for any more. Solid and well made.

This brush was bought to replace the one on my shaving stand that had begun to rot. I needed one with a chrome (or chrome effect handle) to replace the old brush. It's not as soft as the badger-hair brush it replaces, and the plastic chrome-effect handle makes it lighter to hold, but doesn't look obviously cheap or nasty. The first couple of times I used it, it had a slightly... well... boar-like aroma, but believe me, it's not strong and it's not particularly offensive. It smells like most men used to prior to about 1990. It's lost the ... erm... "new brush" aroma after a few uses. The brush is well-packed and very large. It is a really good shaving brush. The bristles are a bit firm, being boar, but it's still effective and comfortable to use. The handle is too large to fit in most shaving stands, so be warned... but it's an excellent brush. Especially given that it's also one of the cheapest. What I find really amazing is that my old brush and my travel brushes always used to lose the odd bristle every other use... This brush has yet to lose one. It's a really well made brush and excellent value.

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.

A real Bristle brush: Sheer luxury!!

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 .

Polecam, włosie sztywne, ale dla mnie takie lepsze niż zbyt miękkie. Po rozgrzaniu pod gorącą wodą mięknie, jeśli ktoś preferuje.

最初触った感じは豚毛特有の硬さが気になったが、お湯に入れて数分経つとしっとりとした柔らかさになり、肌への当たりも優しくて安心した。匂いが気になるというレビューもあったが、私個人は特に気にならず。同じポロラーソのサンダルウッドの香りのシェービングソープを使うと、心地いい気持ちになる。

Ich habe den Proraso Rasierpinsel gekauft und bin seitdem sehr zufrieden. Die Anwendung ist angenehm und der Pinsel liegt gut in der Hand. Er erfüllt seinen Zweck einwandfrei und sorgt für einen schönen, gleichmäßigen Rasierschaum. Zusätzlich habe ich mir auch die passende Rasierseife von Proraso gekauft – beides lässt sich hervorragend miteinander kombinieren und ergibt ein sehr gutes Rasiererlebnis. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die Wert auf eine klassische und angenehme Rasur legen!

Good
