A brush can help you create a rich, fine, thick lather from shaving cream or soap to completely cover your beard.
The brush helps soften the beard and moisturizes the skin, preventing razor irritation when the skin is not moist enough. The fineness of the brush can effectively penetrate into every pore, clean dirt, and give you a refreshing feeling. The quality of your shaving brush can make a world of difference to you.
