Viking Revolution Badger Hair Shaving Brush- Shave Brush for Wet Shave Using Shaving Cream & Soap- Best Shave of Your Life for Safety Razor, Double Edge Razor, Straight Razor or Shaving Razor

I have been wet shaving for several years and have tested many badger brushes over the last decade. I tend to look for a few things when using them. 1. The quality of the handle. 2. The quality of the bristles. 3. The quality in assembly. 1. Quality of the handle: This badger brush handle seems to be made of high quality materials. The paint is thick (in a good way) and consistent. It has a nice shape in the hand and is easy to grip, even if your hands are wet. Good stuff. 2. Quality of the bristles: The thing that I like about this badger brush is that the bristles are nicely shaped and have a good thickness to them. They are immediately soft out of the box (well, tube really) and don't smell nearly as bad as many other brushes I've used. **Disclaimer - if you've never used a badger brush before, they tend to smell like a weird funk. I like to wash them with warm water and peppermint soap in order to help curb that. It will eventually fade.** That being said, I think the smell went away after the first or second use, so great job there. 3. Quality of the assembly: This goes along with the other two parts of the equation, but this brush is assembled very well. It has a nice steel ring where the bristles meet the handle and in a month and a half, I've hardly had any bristles fall out. I would say that it is completely normal for bristles to fall out after use, since they are glued to the handle and over time the stress of use can cause them to break off. This brush seem very well suited for long term use and the bristles are well secured. Actual use: I've tested this with their shaving cream, as well as a bar of shaving soap. It functions as it should and creates a great lather quickly. Pro tip, when you are working on your second or third pass, be sure to squeeze the bristles from the base of the handle and pull through your hand. This will ensure you get the best shaving cream from the center of the brush. Overall, I'd give this one a 10 out of 10. I've enjoyed using the brush in combination with the stainless steel bowl and their sandalwood shaving cream.

I finally wore out my old brush so i ordered this one because I’ve been using the shave soaps for a year now and i really like them so i figured I’d give it a shot. Great brush. Works better than my old one.

This badger hair shaving brush is a solid, traditional wet shaving tool that works well for building a rich lather with shaving soap or cream. The bristles are soft enough to feel comfortable on the skin while still having enough backbone to whip up a consistent foam, making the shave smoother and more controlled. It helps lift facial hair and prep the skin, which improves glide and reduces irritation during shaving. In use, it performs best when properly soaked and used with good shaving soap, creating a creamy lather that spreads easily across the face. Over time, it holds up reasonably well with normal care, though like most natural hair brushes it can shed slightly or soften more with extended use. Overall, it’s a dependable entry-level to mid-range brush that does its job well for traditional wet shaving routines.

This brush does a great job of creating lather in the mug, and massaging the whiskers and pores when lathering up. Is it ultra soft? No, but it has enough density to really stimulate the pores and help prepare the face, without feeling scratchy. Even though it comes with a nice cardboard packing tube, I would not select this brush for travel. It needs to be rinsed and air-dried between uses. Shaving then shoving into a travel kit would, I think, do a disservice to the natural bristles. Probably better to use a plastic handled, synthetic brush on the road; it'd be less likely to grow nasties when sitting in the case. Like your travel toothbrush, a synthetic brush could be sanitized in the dishwasher between trips. Save this lovely natural one for use at home.

TLDR: Buy this brush immediately. THE PART YOU DO WANT TO READ: After many years being a consumer of all the best products in the wet sagging world and a few years of sporting a beard, I went back to shaving. After spending hundreds— maybe thousands— of dollars on gear when I was originally shaving, it was all lost in a move. Fast forward to now and I needed a brush. I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep shaving, so I got this one. Honestly, the only expectation I had for this brush was to be let down (I even had a very popular short, fat brush in my cart ready to go). FWIW, I waited over a month before reviewing this and you’ll be hard pressed to find reviews by me. THE REVIEW: Buy it. Seriously. I’ve gone through all of the big names in brushes (even had an Mühle prototype brush that was never released) and this lil $10 brush is THE JAM. Very few hairs lost. That new brush stench wasn’t bad at all. Bristles weren’t too stiff out of the box. The brush holds the literal perfect amount of water and picks up the right soap. It’s soap enough for a face lather, yet stiff enough for a puck and bowl. Also, I have extremely sensitive (I’m talking more sensitive than the high school freshman living under my roof) skin and have yet to Even had any redness or that irritating itch/burn associated with chlamydia, I mean razor burn. There’s no logical reason this brush is only $10 and if you actually want a good shave for the value rather than trying to impress people with your ridiculously expensive “SOTD” photos on unnamed forums.

I like the brush and its quality. Other brushes I have purchased the bristles get very stiff after a couple of uses. This one so far has remained quite soft. I find it a pleasure to shave with and would recommend

Updated: I’ve owned this Viking Revolution badger brush for about five years. The brush itself has held up very well and still performs nicely, which is why I’m not giving this a one-star review. That said, the handle began peeling within the first month of use, and over time the coating continued to deteriorate. At this point, the base is flaking and falling apart despite normal bathroom use and care. This seems to be a finish/material issue rather than misuse. I just replaced it with a more expensive brush that has an all-wood handle, simply to avoid this problem. If Viking Revolution updated the handle material or finish, this would be an easy recommendation. As it stands, the brush quality is good, but the handle durability doesn’t match the longevity of the bristles.

My son loves it!

Guter Rasierpinsel. Macht was er soll. Ab und zu fällt mal das ein oder andere Haar aus, finde ich aber nicht weiter schlimm

Very bad This brush is terrible. The hair is extremely rough it feels like needles after the first use.

I bought one of these for my partner and he couldn’t believe how amazing it is to use. He has soft sensitive skin and usually uses an electric razor, maybe once a week wet shaving, he finds this brush changed how it feels to wet shave. I bought him a second one to use when we travel so he is never without!

If I put the price in perspective, I should give it a higher rating. But the badger hair is super hard and it took very many times to get a bit softer.

Muy agradable al tacto y de bue precio
