That reputation isn't wrong — it's just incomplete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat badger hair brushes don't tell you upfront: they smell. Not permanently, but until it's broken in, a new badger brush has a distinct wet-animal odor that takes time and repeated washing to fade. They also require a break-in period before the bristles soften and bloom to full lather capacity. And when they do shed — which they do — you'll find hairs in your lather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe one area where badger still wins is heat retention — badger hair holds warm water slightly longer during the lather-building process. For most shavers, that difference is imperceptible once the lather is on your face.  Especially, if you're using the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.onebladeshave.mom\/products\/hot-lather-machine-oneblade-lthr\"\u003eOneBlade LTHR machine\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Now Prefer Synthetic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter years of only carrying badger brushes, we found that high-quality synthetic fibers have closed most of the performance gap. We have no been able to create a brush using synthetic fibers worthy of our Black Tie name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's why you'll love the Black Tie Shave Brush from OneBlade:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRich Lather with Less Product.\u003c\/strong\u003e Synthetic fibers hold enough water to build a dense, rich lather with less product than badger hair requires.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStill Firm, but Noticeably Softer.\u003c\/strong\u003e The bristles have a solid backbone that will exfoliate your skin but are softer at the tip, making them more ideal for sensitive skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore Hygienic.  \u003c\/strong\u003eSynthetic fibers dry substantially faster and typically, completely between uses.  This makes them more hygienic and definitely better smelling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLongevity.\u003c\/strong\u003e They don't smell like a wet dog and they don't shed like a dog either. A synthetic fiber shave brush typically lasts 2 to 3 times longer than a comparable badger hair shave brush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCost. \u003c\/strong\u003eWe make razors that sell for $300 or more so we believe in quality first. But with some badger brushes costing hundreds of dollars (simply because the badger hair is rare), it's nuts that you're paying more for a brush than a razor.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the same money you'd spend on a mid-grade badger brush, you can get a synthetic that performs identically, lasts longer, requires less maintenance, and even involves no animal sourcing. That's not a compromise. That's just the better option.  That's our Black Tie 20mm Knot Shave Brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReally, the only question is black or brown?\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OneBlade","offers":[{"title":"Black (Tuxedo)","offer_id":984841191439,"sku":"BR-OB-SynTux1","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown (Fawn)","offer_id":33050411761721,"sku":"BR-OB-SynBlk1","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/7457\/products\/BrushHiRes1.jpg?v=1762532083"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/7457\/collections\/Generated_with_Kive.ai_-_zoom_out_on_this_image_of_the_brush.png?v=1779898075","url":"https:\/\/www.onebladeshave.mom\/collections\/brushes.oembed","provider":"OneBlade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
