Proraso Professional Shaving Brush - Natural Boar Bristles - Premium Wet Shave Brush

Large brush. First experience. Stiffer bristles. Excellent at holding lather. So outperforms other brushes that I have purchased. Italians create another great product. Good price point compared to others that don't perform as well. I don't usually do reviews. But this product so deserves being mentioned.

Wonderful brush that makes loads of later and raises beard perfectly. Only negative is that the handle is large and doesn't fit in my stand.

It's not bad. Does it's job.

Excellent Quality

I've been using this brush for a few weeks now. My normal brush is a standard badger hair. I stayed away from this one because - how good could it possibly be for $20 bucks? What made me go for it was a review that talked about how the bristles are nice and stiff, which might be good for mixing and exfoliating. I did not have an issue with the smell. I didn't have to soak it or wash it or anything prior to use and it didn't start to smell after I started using it. This being a Proraso brush, I did not have a lot of luck using with my Proraso shave cream and shave soap. Not sure what I was doing wrong, but just didn't lather up well enough for me. However, I do think this brush would work quite well with a hard shave puck, which I have seen online. Like everything else in DE shaving, you have to try it out for yourself and see what works for you. Great value for the price. Treat it like any other shave brush - store it upside down in an open area to air-out.

About a year ago I started shaving with a quality double edge razor, but I resisted the idea of using shave soap and brush. Instead I kept on using the same types of shaving cream I had used before, but I wasn't getting the best result with them. Recently I decided maybe I should try Proraso shave soap and that seemed very promising, so I went ahead and bought this brush to use with it. Wow! I had tried a lot of shaving products over the 40ish years I have been shaving, and this is the best by far! At first it seemed a bit stiff, but it quickly softens and feels very nice. There were some lost bristles at first, but that seems to have stopped. Overall, I'm very pleased and would urge anyone looking for a better shave to give this a try!

Bought this to use with the Proraso soap and I wet the bristles and rub it around a few times in the soap and onto my wet face and it lathers nicely. So far the bristles are comfortable and staying in place.

The Proraso shaving brush is fine. If you’re looking for a stiffer brush with better exfoliation, or just not certain you actually want to use a shaving brush- it does the job. But for a bit more money you can get nicer brushes. Truth be told, I bought this by accident; my search included “badger” and this was promoted in the results. It’s boar hair. Rather than return it I decided to use it alongside badger and synthetic brushes for comparison. It was the cheapest of the 3, and also my least favorite. It’s stiffer than I expected, straight out of the box I wasn’t keen on rubbing it on my face- seemed more suited as a grill brush or perhaps to scrub espresso cups. After letting it sit in warm water it softens up nicely and has a nice scrub-y vibe. Didn’t smell great, think “wet dog” (pig?), but that went away after one use. Tried with three different shaving creams, its lather action is nothing special; similar to synthetic but less than badger. Pretty painless to rinse, dry, etc. It’s girth-y-er than some other brushes. The narrowest part is about 1.1” where the knot meets the handle, so it won’t fit in some brush stands (many are 1”- but it could squeeze in). The wide chrome handle is only plastic so be careful with your bowl/mug/scuttle; mine is marble and the bottom of the brush handle now has a number of unsightly scratches after just a few uses.

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

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
