SEMOGUE 1305 PURE BRISTLE SHAVING BRUSH PRODUCT The Semogue 1305 Pure Bristle Shaving brush is a great looking brush with classic styling. It features a classic sculpted beech wood handle, with the traditional Semogue two-tone finish. The handle carries the unmistakable 'Excelsior' badge and is topped with a 'silver' collar, which holds the renowned Semogue densely filled Pure Boar Bristle (Badger Effect) loft. A beautiful looking brush with excellent performance. Hand Made in Portugal. HOW TO USE The brush bristles should be wet (not soaking) before use. Load the loft with soap or cream and apply to the areas to be shaved, using a strong circular motion. This softens the hairs and also raises them ready for shaving. We strongly recommend the following aftercare for your brush; When finished always rinse the brush under hot water (especially at the base of the bristles) to remove any remaining soap residue which can result in damage to the bristle and cause early shedding of the loft. The brush should then be stored loft facing down to dry. This can be achieved by using a shaving brush stand and prevents the bristles rotting at the base due to moisture. RECOMMENDED FOR Both shaving creams and shaving soaps and all skin types. GROOMING TIP Always store your shaving brush with the loft/bristles poiting down, to allow excess moisture to drain away naturally. This prevents damage caused by damp and helps to extend the life of your brush.   A. OVERALL HEIGHT 112MM B. LOFT HEIGHT 55MM C. BASE HEIGHT 57MM D.  LOFT WIDTH 44MM E.
