The synthetic bristle is non absorbent so dries quickly, they are also secure and do not shed over time. The bristle is designed to stimulate and lift beard hair to perfectly prepare it for a close shave. A combination of straight and wave bristles provides the ultimate efficiency in quickly whipping up a rich lather.
