PROGRESS VULFIX 514B 'HYDE PARK' PURE BADGER SHAVING BRUSH PRODUCT The Progress Vulfix 514b Hyde Park is part of the London Series of shaving brushes. Old English classics at their best. The 514b has a dense loft of excellent grade Pure Badger to give a firm brush perfect for both soaps and creams and good exfoliation of the skin prior to shaving. The loft has fabulous water retention to ensure a luxurious lather. The handle is a simple design classic with a straight format overlapping a slightly flared base to perfectly finish off the classic look. The handle is lathe turned pure resin with a 'faux ivory' finish, reminiscent of the most traditional of shaving brushes. All Progress Vulfix Brushes are Hand Made in Isle of Man, British Isles. HOW TO USE The brush bristles should be wet (not soaking) before use. Load the loft with soap or cream and apply to the areas to be shaved, using a strong circular motion. This softens the hairs and also raises them ready for shaving. We strongly recommend the following aftercare for your brush; When finished always rinse the brush under hot water (especially at the base of the bristles) to remove any remaining soap residue which can result in damage to the bristle and cause early shedding of the loft. The brush should then be stored loft facing down to dry. This can be achieved by using a shaving brush stand and prevents the bristles rotting at the base due to moisture. RECOMMENDED FOR Both shaving creams and shaving soaps and all skin types. GROOMING TIP All shaving brushes need to be 'broken-in' and this is achieved simply by using the brush. The more it is used, the more the hairs will soften and split at the ends to create a softer tip   DIMENSIONS A. OVERALL HEIGHT 99MM B. LOFT HEIGHT 49MM C. BASE HEIGHT 50MM D. LOFT WIDTH 48MM E.
