Maki-e Urushi Shaving Brush - Golden Milkyway with Cherry Wood Handle

Indulge in the luxurious and unparalleled shaving experience with our Maki-e Urushi Shaving Brush, crafted with the utmost care and precision. Our "Golden Milkyway" design is a stunning tribute to the thousand-year-old Japanese Urushi art tradition.

 

Full Description

We begin by selecting only the finest cherry wood for our handles, hand-shaped to our exact specifications by our partner, a skilled artisan woodworker. Each handle is then carefully layered with raw Seshime Urushi lacquer, ensuring a durable and long-lasting finish. The next step involves applying 8-10 thin layers of Roiro Urushi (black Urushi) with increasing grits of sanding and polishing to achieve a flawless and smooth surface. Our Maki-e finish is an elegant interpretation of the sublime technique used by Japanese urushi artists, adding a touch of modern design and functionality to our brushes.

To complement our exquisite handles, we've sourced the best knots available made from high-class faux badger bristles. These innovative artificial fibers require minimal maintenance and are hygienic, ensuring a satisfying shave for an extended period. Our urushi lacquer handles and faux badger bristle knots are carefully hand-set, creating a stunning and unique shaving brush that is sure to elevate your grooming routine.

Measuring 10cm in height with a brush head diameter of 5cm and handle diameter of 3cm, our shaving brushes come wrapped in a luxurious red linen and are protected in handmade hinoki wood boxes.

At our workshop, we take pride in crafting every single brush by hand, ensuring the highest level of quality and attention to detail. Experience the ultimate shave with our unique Maki-e Urushi Shaving Brush - a true work of art that is sure to leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Contact us today with any questions or inquiries about this one-of-a-kind creation.

Care Guide

・Soaking the bristles is not necessary as these are synthetic fibers.

・best to hang your brush handle upwards, so remaining water can flow out of the brush or dry it as good as possible with a soft towel, after softly pressing out remaining water.
