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.

I’ve used Bearded Colonel razors for over 10 years. They provide a super quality blade and handle at a good price with flexibility so that I can easily alter how frequently they arrive. On the rare occasions in which I’ve needed assistance, ie because an order was lost in the post, their customer service responded quickly and positively. I know that these days there are lots of similar companies, but I’ve never even considered changing.

Excellent product with excellent service, been using the blades, then shaving cream and brush for years now, still delighted with everything.

I originally took out the subscription for my husband around 9 years ago but have been using the blades myself for almost as long. These give a gentle, close, clean shave on legs and underarms and last longer than the designated lady razors I've used in the past. I'd recommend these to anyone.

Really impressed with this setup. The blades are sharp straight out of the wrapper but still smooth—no tugging or irritation at all, even on the first pass. They cut cleanly and consistently, which made the whole shave feel controlled and comfortable rather than harsh. The brush is equally impressive. It holds plenty of water, builds a rich lather quickly, and feels soft on the face with just the right amount of backbone. No shedding so far, and it spreads lather evenly without effort. Overall, this combo gave me one of the best shaves I’ve had in a long time—close, comfortable, and irritation-free. Excellent quality and great value.

Got a set of razors , shaving cream and a shaving brush as a present for my dad who is quite demanding when it comes to shaving products. He was very satisfied with the quality and from now on will be a loyal customer.

Great product and rapid customer service. Nicely weighted razor handle and cost effective blades delivered to your door.

I am delighted with both the quality of the shaving stick and the clean shave that it produces. In the past, I have spent many pounds on inferior products supplied by household names in the razor industry. The Colonel is definitely enigmatic, but behind those Georgian whiskers he certainly hides a skill to produce beautiful shaves! The first thing I did with my new razor was to shave off my beard. Shaving is so quick and easy, thanks to the Bearded Colonel, that I probably won't bother to grow another!

Bearded Colonel for shaving materials etc. Very satisfied with the products I have purchased and regular deliveries of blades. The stainless steel razor is really nice and weighty……quality. Paul Charnock
