RazoRock Natural Boar Bristle Shaving Brush - with Olive Wood 506 Handle

For decades, boar bristle shaving brushes have been the choice of master barbers in Italy, and for good reason. Boar bristle shaving brushes are both effective at creating good lather and inexpensive, they won't break your wallet. Once broken-in the tips become just as soft as premium badger hair. The key with boar bristle brushes is to give them a good soak before use, this allows the bristles to become hydrated and pliable and prevents them from breaking. The one downfall of standard boar bristle brushes is the break-in period can be fairly long, anywhere from 20-30 uses. During the break-in period, boar bristle brushes can have a noticeable "funk" to them and the bristles will be a little scratchy at the beginning until the ends of the bristle begin to split with use. 

Once again RazoRock has worked hard to bring you both innovation and value. Our RazoRock Blondie boar bristle shaving brush uses a special process to treat the boar bristles prior to forming the knot. This special process helps to eliminate the traditional "boar smell" or "funk" and also softens the bristles beginning the splitting process that makes the ends super soft. Innovation usually comes at a premium but RazoRock brings you this amazing boar bristle brush at a price that blows the competition out of the water! The Blondie is going to set a new standard for boar bristle brushes in the market and you might soon forget that other brand of Italian boar brushes.

With this brush, not only are you getting what I consider to be the best boar knot in the business but now the knot is mated to a beautiful turned olive wood handle that speaks class!

Knot diameter: 26 mm

Knot loft: approximately 61-62 mm

Handle Material: Turned olive wood handle with nickel plated finishing ring.

Zoe ★★★★★

First shave with it this morning and the boar bristles already feel broken in — no scratchiness at all. The olive wood handle is gorgeous and has a nice weight to it, though it does need a good rinse after lathering. Definitely sticking with this one over my old synthetic.

Michael H. ★★★★★

Soaked it for a few minutes before the first shave and the bristles already felt softer than my old synthetic, plus the olive wood handle warms up nicely in the hand. It lathers a thick, creamy foam from my soap puck without any scratchy feeling against the skin.

Sebastian I. ★★★★★

The olive wood handle has a nice heft to it, and the bristles softened up beautifully after just a couple of shaves. It holds water well and whips up a thick lather from my soap stick without any trouble.
