Feel refreshed

Badger hair used to be the only choice for a good shaving brush. Synthetic fibres have caught up. They give the same rich lather and softness, dry faster, last longer and suit every skin type, with nothing taken from an animal.

We reimagined our brush around them. Premium synthetic bristles on a hand finished, sustainably sourced wooden base, making a lather on a par with silver tip badger with far less fuss to look after. It will last for years and look ready for the best shave every time.

Premium bristles, premium lather

The main reason to use a shaving brush is a better shave. Apply cream with your hands and you flatten the hairs down. A brush lifts them up and holds them in a rich lather, so the blade cuts each one right at the base.

That is a closer, smoother shave, with less going over the same patch twice.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding customer service from The Bearded Colonel! I honestly can’t recommend The Bearded Colonel highly enough. Not only are the products great, but the customer service is absolutely first-class. While I was in the Maldives, I thought I’d lost a handle and contacted them to explain the situation. They were more than happy to send me a replacement, despite me being halfway around the world. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made the whole thing completely hassle-free. It’s easy for companies to talk about good customer service, but it’s when something goes wrong that you really see a company’s true colours. The Bearded Colonel got it absolutely right. A massive thank you to Alex and the team for being so helpful, friendly and accommodating. It’s this sort of service that earns genuine loyalty and makes you want to recommend a business to others. Brilliant products, brilliant people and customer service that genuinely goes above and beyond. I’ll happily keep supporting this company. 👏

I have been getting my razor and replacement blades from The Colonel for many years now. Quality product never bettered and delivered on time every time - superb blades which are truly safe to use ( I have a blood condition so cutting myself is a serious issue) and great people to deal with. Thank you Colonel

Bearded Colonel have supplied me with razors and blades since 2015. I have used no others. Their service and response to requests has been second to none. In this age of recorded messages, or worse, I put great store by being able to speak directly with somebody who knows what is required and does it. As to the product, I have found the razor itself to be easy to use and very straightforward, of the two choices available I prefer the stainless steel handle, a very good long term investment. As to the blades, they are German made, long lasting and equal to any on the market. A plus for me is that they now arrive twice a year, without reminder at a price which does not include the cost of expensive advertising. Whenyoung men in my family have needed to start shaving I have asked them to report to the Colonel! RJD.

I've been a smooth customer of The Bearded Colonel for over ten years. A very good service, which works like clockwork. A great response from the team if I have a query. Highly recommended.

I've been using the Bearded Colonel's razor blades since 2015 and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. The blades themselves are a cut above, better than anything I found in the chemists or the supermarket. And the service is exceptional - the blades arrive on time every time, the Colonel doesn't bombard you with advertising and the care from HQ is spot-on.

High quality blades that give an excellent shave, I would recommend them as excellent value for money.

This excellent company scores again. My razor, worn out with years of use, was replaced free of charge by the Colonel. What a splendid fellow!
