Classic Shaving Brush

I recently purchased the Wilkinson Sword Classic Shaving Brush, and I must say it has completely transformed my shaving routine! From the moment I started using this brush, I noticed a remarkable improvement in the quality of my shave. The first thing that struck me was the luxurious feel of the bristles. The synthetic fibers are not only soft on the skin but also have the perfect amount of firmness to create a rich, thick lather with my shaving cream. The brush effortlessly lifts and coats each hair, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable shave. What I appreciate most about the Wilkinson Sword Classic Shaving Brush is its ergonomic design. The handle provides a comfortable grip, allowing for precise control during application. It feels well-balanced and substantial in the hand, adding a touch of sophistication to my grooming routine. I was also pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to clean. The synthetic bristles dry quickly and maintain their shape, making it a breeze to keep the brush in top condition. This durability ensures a long-lasting investment in a quality grooming tool. Overall, the Wilkinson Sword Classic Shaving Brush has become an indispensable part of my daily routine. It not only enhances the quality of my shave but also adds a touch of elegance to the experience. I highly recommend this brush to anyone looking to elevate their grooming game – it's a small investment that pays off in a big way!

This is a great brush with a very ergonomic handle which feels great in the palm of my hand. I have no complaints at all. Others have moaned about loose or dropped bristles. This is inevitable in the beginning with any type of brush. My advise would be to pull at the bristles very hard before first use to remove any strays or loose ones. Just like you would with a new paint brush. I’ve never had an issue since with dropped bristles. Lathers up my shaving cream very well and applies it nicely to my face and neck. The bristles are soft yet firm enough to work the foam into my hair. I even use it with non foaming shaving gel to work it into the hair when I’m maintaining my bear rather than clean shaving. It’s a perfectly capable and well made shaving brush with a value for money price tag.

This classic shaving brush from Wilkinson Sword is a solid option for anyone getting into traditional wet shaving. The bristles are soft enough not to irritate the skin but firm enough to build a decent lather with creams or soaps. The handle is lightweight and easy to grip. It is easy to use. The only downside is that it does shed a few bristles, especially early on. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it could be improved. For the price though, it’s great value and does the job well. ✔️ Colour variety ❌ ✔️ Functionality ✅ ✔️ Value for money ✅ ✔️ Size ✅ ✔️ Quality ⚠️ (bristle shedding early on)

The best shaving brush on the market !! Made in Germany and worth every cent and excellent quality. It gives a great lather and a perfect shave.

Good quality.

This brush gets better with age, and the fact that it's fine boar made in Germany is all I needed to stay loyal. I have bought more expensive brushes before and decided I want to sell them, because these Wilkinson Sword Brushes provide the same results, but they get better with age and also they are much, much cheaper. Anything made in Germany you are guaranteed good results, just be a little patient with the brush and it will last you a lifetime if you take good care of it. Don't soak it with hot water, don't squeeze the whole knot, only gently squeeze water out at the tops, and then shake. Honestly it's not worth buying expensive brushes when German made products like this does the same if not better. I am saying this from my personal experience, if you have already bought more expensive brushes then please enjoy them, it's part of the fun of wet shaving :) I just wanted to let you know that if you can't afford them, then this brush can last you forever with great results if you just give it a few uses (as boar brushes get softer as they age). Many thanks everyone, I hope you enjoy your shaves as much as I do, God bless :)

This isn’t a bad brush for someone who is just starting to get used to one. It’s very reasonably priced and nice enough, but the bristles aren’t great and don’t hold a candle to my old Omega.

I have toyed with different forms of shaving products for many decades now: gels, mousses, canned foam, sticks, creams, even oil. Whenever I have used the sticks in the past, I have used a shaving brush – which always happened to be a Wilkinson one. After some years of using a cream product, I started using a shave bowl and a new brush (not Wilkinson). The brush pretty quickly started shedding hairs and was unusable. I decided to buy myself a “posh” brush to replace it - £12 from Amazon. I found that the foam was always cold, so I tried 1) a new, metal bowl (£8) that I could heat up in the basin before shaving, 2) which I replaced with a stone one (£12). I tried tinkering with the amount of water in the brush before whipping the lather – all manner of aggravation. Finally, the “posh” brush started shedding and I replaced it with a “cheap” Wilkinson one. ALL OF MY PROBLEMS WERE SOLVED IN ONE SWOOP! I have no idea how it does it, but by some alchemy this brush somehow makes the lather warmer than the “posh” one - and it does it whilst producing lather quicker and easier than the old one as well. Moreover, it has so far failed to shed any hairs at all – presumably because the “hairs” are, in fact artificial fibres rather than natural, similar to the way that paint brushes no longer shed hairs when they are new, since the fibres are more consistent in thickness and length. Do yourself a favour and buy this brush rather than anything that "looks" nice and is actually rubbish!
