Care & Maintenance

The Botticella does not require activation or a break-in period before use. Before the first shave, clean the knot to remove any residual dust that may remain on the synthetic fibers.

After each shave, rinse the brush thoroughly to remove remaining shaving soap or cream and allow it to dry completely before storage. Synthetic fibers are sensitive to prolonged UV exposure, which can contribute to aging, so store the brush away from excessive direct sunlight.

Why Choose a Synthetic Shaving Brush?

A quality synthetic shaving brush offers several practical advantages for traditional wet shaving. Synthetic fibers absorb very little water, require minimal maintenance, are ready for immediate use, and efficiently release shaving soap and lather onto the face.

The Botticella combines these advantages with a dense 26mm knot designed to produce a rich and satisfying lather. Its versatility, straightforward care, and larger knot size make it a practical option for newcomers to traditional wet shaving as well as experienced shavers who prefer synthetic fibers.

Pro Tip

There is no need to soak the Botticella before shaving. Simply wet the synthetic knot, shake out excess water, and begin loading your shaving soap or cream. Because PBT fibers absorb very little water, introduce additional water gradually while building your lather until you reach your preferred consistency.
