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 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!

I've been using these blades over over 5 years now, they are bar far the best blades I've used, the little single blade is excellent for getting around the nose and the handle has a great weight. Also their customer service is top notch...
