NOM Gustav Shaving Brush: A Closer Look at Badger Brushes
The NOM Gustav shaving brush, featuring pure badger hair, is a popular choice for wet shaving enthusiasts. But what makes badger hair so special, and how do you choose the right brush?
Badger hair is known for its excellent water retention and ability to create a rich lather. Different grades of badger hair offer varying levels of softness and backbone:
- Pure Badger: Often the most affordable, offering a good balance of exfoliation and lathering.
- Best Badger: Softer than pure badger, with slightly longer hair.
- Super Badger: Even softer and more absorbent, providing a luxurious feel.
- Silvertip Badger: The highest grade, prized for its extreme softness and superior water retention.
The NOM Gustav uses pure badger hair, making it a great entry-level brush. Remember to properly care for your brush to extend its lifespan. Rinse thoroughly after each use and allow it to air dry with the bristles facing down.
