Shaving brushes

Shaving brushes are a vital part to your shaving regime, I can confidently say the 'big boys' missed the plot completely when they put foam in a can, the lathering process does a lot of work that cannot be accomplished by simply spreading foam over your cheeks and simply shaving. Did you know your beard gets 10% softer every minute you spend lathering it up with water and soap? Spending 3 to 4 minutes lathering your beard will soften it 30 to 40%, it will also exfoliate, suspend old skin cells and dirt to present a clean shaving surface, and prep your stubble to be positioned better for cleaner cuts! If you have a soft or thin beard this is not such a big deal, but the average South African's beard is quite hard and coarse, so chances are that a good lathering regime will add to the comfort and efficiency of your shave, and could also extend the life of your blades.
