Fact #1. The shave brush originated in France. They referred to the brush with the French word for badger, which was the primary material used. These brushes were the most expensive, while boar and horse hair brushes were of lower quality and lower cost.
Fact #2. The other component of the brush is the handle. The handle showcased a shaver's wealthy or luxurious taste. Originally handles were composed of ivory, porcelain, silver, tortoise shell, and even gold. When the popularity of home shaving rose in the 1800s, a shaving set was seen as a status symbol to be viewed by guests.
Fact #3. A shaving set will be the best friend of anyone experiencing a wet shave. A wet shave, as the name suggests, is a method of shaving that includes a razor, a shaving brush, and a host of other optional items. The recent trend of wet shaving has companies reintroducing a host of sets. The razor should always be the first item in consideration. Most sets include either a safety razor or straight razor. The second component is the brush. It's used to create a lather in the soap to apply to the face and ease the shave.
Fact #4. Sets usually resemble a toothbrush holder, and are designed to hold the razor and the brush. The brush must be hung upside down in the set after a shave in order to properly dry. Also, given the semi-dangerous properties of open blades, the razor is safe and secure in the set as well.
Fact #5. Some sets may choose to include additional items. These can be disposable blades, shaving soap or cream, or a leather strop. It will seem overwhelming for the beginner to juggle all of these accessories. In anticipation for this, some sets are designed with the novice in mind to make the wet shave experience easy.
