Product Review The Shave Brush
Almost three years ago I switched to the Henson AL 13 Razor, and I have never regretted it. It has been an amazing purchase. I have recommend them to numerous people. My son got one and has been using it since he started shaving. I stated in my review of the razor:
“This razor provides the best shaves I have ever had, and I have been shaving for almost 40 years. I am thankful my wife suggested it and I encourage you to give it a try. And with the money back guarantee you have nothing to lose.”
Fast forward a couple of years and I had the opportunity to test a new Shaving Brush that Henson had in development. My son got a silver one to try and I picked up the black model. We have both been very impressed. Since I started using the Henson I have used 3 different shaving brushes. First a cheap one from Amazon because I was not certain I would stick with the safety razor, the second a very expensive Badger hair brush from the now defunct Executive Shaving Club in the UK. The third was ‘The Shave Brush’ from Henson. I though this is under a third of the cost of the Badger hair one it has been my daily use for well over a year. And there is no going back. The Badger hair one sits in a drawer and collects dust.
At first I was disconcerted that the knot (the brush fiber part) was ‘messy’. The individual fibers are wavy. But after even just a couple of uses I saw how this allowed the brush to lather much better and much quicker. I use less shave cream, have less waste and get an excellent shave.
For over a year and a half my son and I have used these shaving brushes. The aluminum handle has a nice weight and heft to it. The machining give it a nice texture to the handle and firm hold no matter how slick or slippery your fingers are. The description of this product states:
“This aluminum shave brush features a turned and machined handle, made at our aerospace facility to match the Henson Razor. The knot is made of synthetic hairs resembling a classic badger hair. The fibers have wonderfully soft tips, combine that with a solid, natural-feeling backbone and outstanding water retention and this brush is the ideal way to create a thick and luxurious lather when applying shave cream.”
This is an excellent product and one we can both easily recommend. And like many of their other products it comes with a 100-Day trial or your money back! So you have nothing to lose, give this excellent brush a try and take your shaving experience to the next level!
