Brushing shaving lather on your face is a treat. Warm, wet lather perfectly sets up a beard for shaving. This brush is turned in Paduak, a hardwood from India, southeast Asia, and western Africa. The brush is 100% fine badger bristle. The wood is treated with four coats of tung oil. Please wipe the handle after use. (handle: 5.25 inches, brush: 2.25)
