Silvertip badger brushes are the closest you can get to rubbing a badger on your face without experiencing the claws and angry noises associated with the real thing. In all seriousness, however, Silvertip brushes are widely known as the best shaving brush you can possibly get, for a couple of reasons. First, the hair is taken from the underbelly and neck area of the badger, where the softest hairs are found. Additionally, due to the fineness of this hair, it can be packed densely, which makes for a solid, long-lasting brush that also lathers exceptionally well. Your face will thank you.
