Badger hair is the only type of hair that retains water. Every other animal hair repels water. In order to get a good close shave, the most important product to use is hot water. Everything you do, you want it to be in a way that you maximise the effect of hot water. For example, we call our shaving product, "Water activated shaving product." When you take a shaving brush, you run the warm water, it soaks up the water right away, and it warms up instantly. When you dip it in your cream, it instantly warms up the cream, and helps generate a rich lather. The more water you use, the better the lather. The better the lather, the more hot water, and the better the shave.
