Shaving Brush

What is a shaving brush?

Until a few decades ago, most of the people who shaved used a shaving brush. However, with the advent of shaving foam, this technique gradually lost its popularity. However, it is a tool that is far from obsolete when it comes to caring for your skin, whether you shave your beard, legs, underarms or bikini line.

Indeed, shaving brushes can be used to lather up shaving products that only lather with friction, such as shaving soap or cream. These products are often better for your skin than shaving foams because they contain more natural ingredients and are less aggressive to your skin. They also last longer because they require less product per shave and are more environmentally friendly because they come in aluminium-free containers, unlike shaving foams stored in cans.

What are the advantages of the Bambaw shaving brush?

The Bambaw synthetic shaving brush is therefore a tool that allows you to use more environmentally friendly products for shaving, but also provides a better result as it has many other advantages than simply spreading your shaving cream or soap.

• The Bambaw shaving brush has cruelty free bristles

Traditional shaving brushes are made of badger or boar hair. With badgers or boars being raised on farms and then violently killed for make-up, most shaving brushes turn out to be inhumanely made. Fortunately, the Bambaw synthetic shaving brush is made of nylon, an even better alternative to its animal-based counterparts. Besides keeping the animals safe and sound, the Bambaw bristles do not smell, dry faster and do not fall out. The softness of nylon bristles is designed to create the best lather without irritating the skin, which is not always the case with badger bristles, which are often considered too soft, or boar bristles, on the other hand, which are considered too hard on the skin and cause irritation.

Our hygiene products are bad for the environment

Shaving foam does not require a shaving brush but is an environmentally hazardous product due to its composition and packaging. Indeed, shaving foams often contain chemicals that are not only bad for the skin, but are also extremely polluting, both during manufacture, as they produce greenhouse gases, and when they end up in the water, as they are dangerous for marine life.

In addition, the containers in which shaving foam is stored are often not recyclable and therefore end up in landfill sites even though they take more than 500 years to decompose.

Returning to a more traditional shave to take care of the planet

As self-care practices seduce more and more people, traditional shaving is coming back as the best way to achieve a smooth shave without creating tons of waste!

The shaving brush might not be seen as the protagonist; it undoubtedly plays a vital role in the zero-waste shaving experience. Indeed, it is the greatest at foaming up shaving soap to create a rich lather that provides the smoothest shave. Using a synthetic shaving brush thus enable to avoid shaving foams and gels that come in aluminium cans or plastic packaging and are harmful to the environment.
