Synthetic fibre is an ethical, vegan-friendly, affordable alternative to badger hair. The black synthetic fibre retains hot water which, when combined with shaving cream or soap, can create a creamy lather that emulates the experience of using real badger hair shaving brushes, offering a comparable shave that is equally as pleasing.

This type of fill is becoming increasingly popular as synthetic fibres are extremely resistant to problems associated with lather residue in natural badger hair brushes. They are very firm in the middle, allowing them to retain their shape and they dry exceptionally fast, making brush maintenance easier than ever.

Those with particularly sensitive skin may find that synthetic brushes are a good option as the tips are the softest of any type of shaving brush fill, offering an especially kind and pleasant touch to the skin.

The brush fill sits in a lightweight black moulded plastic handle, branded with the Nom logo. The unusual triangular handle design is both stylish and functional, aiding grip. The brushes are crafted in Germany using the most efficient technology.

To clean this brush, simply rinse under hot water (max temperature: 45°) and shake dry to remove any remaining lather residue. It may be hung in a stand to dry off if desired, allowing the brush to be displayed between use. Do not use chemical detergents such as borax or vinegar on this brush, plain water works just fine.

The Nom Carl Shaving Brush (Black Synthetic) range is also available in white and petrol.
