Should You Use a Synthetic Fiber Brush?
Synthetic brushes haven’t always gotten the best reputation. The older generation of synthetic brushes were stiff (or
conversely, floppy) and didn’t retain water well, producing a dissatisfying experience overall. These synthetic brushes,
made from thick white nylon, were no competition with badger hair brushes. However, over the past few years
manufacturing technology has done an exquisite job of refining the synthetic hair brush, creating thinner, softer, more
durable bristles. The ends of these new synthetic brushes are treated for a fine, bushy finish. Muhle helped lead the
way with their silver fibre brushes, which are on par with some of the best shaving brushes out
there. In fact, several wet shaving sites have claimed the tips on these silvertip fibre brushes are softer than any
animal hair brush. We will always cherish the luxurious beauty of a finely made badger hair brush, but there are some
pretty good reasons to go the synthetic route.
