Finest handmade English pewter fox mask silver tip badger shaving brush

To please your favourite hunting man—the one who likes to be as well-groomed as his horses—give him this fine English pewter and badger hair Fox Mask Shaving Brush. The fox’s mask is a veritable work of art, and the piece is beautifully made in England. If you saw it in London’s Burlington Arcade it would have a price tag of £100 or more.

The handle is a solid pewter sculpture of a handsome fox—fashioned by hand by the craftsmen at the English Pewter Company in Sheffield, well known for their superior metalwork—set on a polished pewter plinth. By judicious balancing of the fox’s snout and ears in the making, the brush stands upright, ready for use.

To match the high quality of the pewter fox mask, the bristles are Super Badger hair—the long hair with a soft creamy white tip, also known as Silver Tip—the finest available, creating a richer lather than can otherwise be achieved, and giving the ultimate shave.

This style of badger hair shaving brush traces back to the 1750s. It is one of those practical yet decorative elements of a gentleman’s shaving kit which was and is the best of its kind. Added to which, the heavy, comfortable feel of the fox mask in the palm is very satisfying. It makes a discerning gift for any man, and will give him pleasure each time he shaves.

The brush is 4in (102mm) tall, and arrives in a smart presentation box.
