Handmade in Valencia, Spain by Vielong who have been making artisan shaving brushes and other accessories since 1940.\nThis is the larger than standard size Tulip with Fibersoft, Synthetic bristles, the Tulip benefits from traditional, vintage styling but the Fibersoft bristles are very much 21st century. These bristles are vegan and animal-friendly, they outperform badger in so many ways. \nFirstly, the bristles are super-soft on the face much softer than badger and horsehair. \nThe bristles dry after use almost immediately (ideal for travel and home use).\nSynthetic fibre brushes don't suffer from off-putting smells.\nHigh quality synthetic brushes like the Vielong Tulip very seldom if ever shed hair.\nVielong's Fibersoft bristles are equally effective when lathering hard soaps and soft cream whether bowl lathering or face lathering.\nThe knot of hair is densely packed together and this hair density delivers excellent backbone, the fibres don't flop around like an old emulsion paintbrush.\nThis is a larger than standard size shaving brush with a 24mm knot and a generously proportioned handle.
