The Best Silvertip Badger Hair Brushes

If you have made the decision to invest in a silvertip badger hair brush you obviously know that you enjoy a proper, quality traditional shave.

There really is nothing better than the soft strokes of a silvertip to really appreciate the ultimate shave. There are many great and different silvertip brushes available on the market so it can be a little difficult to wade through them all to find the best.

We have put a list of our 3 favorites together for you below.

The Edwin Jagger Large Silver Tip Badger Hair Shaving Brush

This one is our favorite silvertip brush. The brush is handcrafted in Sheffield, England and is made from the highest quality silvertip badger’s hair.

The brush and the handle are both of medium size and weight so will work well with any wet shave.

The handle is made from a sleek faux ivory and the accompanying drip stand is made from a matching plastic.

The set looks perfectly elegant in any bathroom setting.

Priced just under $170, the brush is made from pure, luxurious silvertip badger hair and helps provide an excellent shave.

The hairs are soft to the touch but lift beard hairs perfectly to exfoliate the skin underneath.

With gentle circle or up and down motions, the brush creates a great, thick lather.

You really get what you pay for with this brush; the Edwin Jagger Large Silver Tip Badger Hair Shaving Brush is extremely well crafted, with a sturdy strong knot, and with can last for years with proper care.

With its 5 star rating on Amazon and review stating things like “I have never had a better shave” and “this is one of the best quality shaving brushes I have ever owned” you really can’t go wrong.

Don’t let the price put you off – this brush will last you for years, and it is the brush we recommend.

Things we Liked

  • Hardly sheds
  • Large knot
  • Looks luxurious
  • Creates a wonderful lather

Things we didn't Like

  • A little on the smaller side

Parker Safety Razor 100% Silvertip Badger Bristle Shaving Brush

At just under $65 the Parker Safety Razor 100% Silvertip Badger Bristle Shaving Brush is very affordable for a silvertip shaving brush.

Normally this would seem a little too cheap for this type of quality brush, but it provides a great compromise between cost and quality as the latter is very good.

The brush is on the larger size, is very soft and provides a great lather without any effort. The handle and drip stand are made from black plastic and are easy to use.

With good care you can get quite some years out this brush. It’s a great investment for those who are not too sure about spending the $100-$200 an average brush may set you back, but would love to see what the hype is all about.

The brush comes with a 4.3 stars out of 5 on Amazon with a majority of 5 star reviews. Those who loved the brush stated “best brush I have brought so far” and “holds water very well, makes a lovely lather”.

Those who were disappointed were mainly because the stand doesn’t hold the brush very well and because the brush appeared to lose more bristles than it should (the latter wasn’t an issue for everyone).

Things we Liked

  • Super affordable
  • Great quality
  • Great lather
  • Easy to use

Things we didn't Like

  • Brush doesn’t fit in the stand very well
  • Some complaints about the brush losing hairs

Muhle Shaving Brush, Silvertip Badger Hair

Our third recommendation is the Muhle Shaving Brush, Silvertip Badger Hair.

At just under $120 it is on the higher end of the price range for badger brushes, but as with the Edwin Jagger, you really get what you pay for in terms of high and long-lasting quality.

Handcrafted in Germany, Muhle only use the highest quality silvertip badger hair to create a soft and luxurious brush that will last for years.

The handle is made from black resin and chrome and matches Muhle’s R101 and R106 safety razors.

This brush does not come with a stand, but one can be easily purchased separately.

We always recommend the use of a brush stand to ensure that the brush dries correctly after each use, however this brush will only fit properly with a Muhle stand.

The brush creates a great lather and is soft and sturdy enough to lift hairs and exfoliate the skin without causing any irritations.

Amazon reviewers give the Muhle Shaving Brush, Silvertip Badger Hair a strong 4.8 out of 5 stars rating with comments such as “the brush is really soft yet it has a stiff backbone that can stand up to the hardest of soaps” and “This is a fantastic brush for the money, soft, builds a rich lather and rinses clean”.​

Things we Liked

  • Great look
  • Luxurious handcrafted quality
  • Works with all types of soap

Things we didn't Like

  • Doesn’t come with a stand
  • Only works with a Muhle stand
