A refined expression of traditional shaving craftsmanship, the Ercole Shaving Brush combines precious olive wood with the exceptional softness of pure Silvertip badger hair. Meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, every detail reflects patience, precision, and a dedication to the timeless art of wet shaving.

The knot is created from carefully hand-selected Silvertip badger hairs, chosen for their exceptional softness, flexibility, and durability. The hairs are grouped into uniform bundles, tied and precisely shaped to create the characteristic rounded profile before being securely set into the handle.

Naturally soft and gentle on the skin, Silvertip badger hair retains water beautifully and helps create a rich, dense, and even lather. Its delicate massaging action helps prepare and soften the skin and facial hair for a smooth, comfortable shave.

The handle is crafted from precious olive wood, carefully turned on a lathe before being hand-polished and finished with natural wax. This treatment enhances and preserves the wood’s distinctive grain and warm, natural tones, making every brush subtly unique.

Elegant, functional, and created to last, Ercole transforms the traditional shaving ritual into an expression of true craftsmanship.

The Traditional Shaving Ritual

For the ideal traditional shave, begin in the morning when the facial muscles are rested and relaxed. Place a warm, damp cotton cloth over the face to help soften the skin and facial hair.

Using a wet shaving brush, work the shaving soap into a rich lather with circular motions, gently massaging it into the skin. Rinse the razor with hot water before shaving, first with the direction of hair growth and, if desired, carefully against it for a closer finish.

Complete the ritual by rinsing the face with fresh water and applying an after-shave to leave the skin feeling refreshed, comfortable, and hydrated.
