WW2 British Army Shaving Brushes

Some examples of vintage shaving brushes include:

  • Badger hair brushes: These are some of the most sought-after vintage shaving brushes, prized for their softness and ability to hold water and soap. Badger hair brushes were typically made with high-quality materials, such as ivory or horn handles.

  • Boar hair brushes: Boar hair brushes were a more affordable alternative to badger hair brushes and were popular in the mid-20th century. They were typically made with wooden handles and natural bristles.

  • Synthetic brushes: Synthetic brushes became popular in the 1960s as an alternative to animal hair brushes. These brushes were made with synthetic fibers that were designed to mimic the softness and water-holding properties of natural hair.
