Shaving brushes so many types so many designs so many materials - Vittoria - 12-23-2025
Hi all,
if you’ve been into traditional wet shaving for quite awhile. Or even if you’ve only been wet shaving for a a short time you now doubt are aware of all the different designs shapes sizes and knots that make up shaving brushes. I find it quite fascinating how many types there are.
Not to mention all the different types of knots.
In the past as a lot of you know it was mainly animal fibres. Today we are lucky. There are so many synthetic variations that in some cases rival or even better the natural fibres that knots were traditionally made of.
Do you have a favourite brush
in your den or bathroom or wherever you choose to shave you get the idea.
Tell tell us all about it what you like and what maybe you don’t like and also the brush or brushes you’d like to acquire in the future. What type brush knots like synthetic or natural fibre.
Have you maybe had a go at making your own?
You get the idea. Post them here. and don’t forget to upload some pictures so we can see them and admire them the way you do.
Cheers.

I think my favorite brush is one I got from ETSY - Some making Required. Alas no longer in business (I think...) Its just the right size, the knot is awesome I fitted that myself (a super lux 2-band). Lovely in every way.
Handle Height:57mm
Widest point: 40mm
