## The bit nobody thinks about

I realised a lot of my members were still using a generic shaving cream or foam, which was a little upsetting. Like pouring ketchup on an expensive steak, you shouldn’t use anything but quality shaving cream when you have top of the line shaving tools. So I set out to find the best cream we could. However, the best creams require a brush.

The shaving brush has all but disappeared, which is a real pity. The moment we tried one for the first time we knew we had found something special. There are many important parts to making a shave feel good, and the brush is an essential one. Not only does it make you feel like royalty, it also helps you get a better shave. Brushes soften and lift facial hair, giving a closer and smoother finish, while applying cream by hand tends to mat the hair down.

The brush is made of soft premium synthetic bristles, and the creams are the best smelling ones we found.
