EDITORS COMMENTS
Two women diligently work together in the artisanal process of preparing badger hair for the creation of shaving brushes, in this photograph taken on 1 March 1933. The women are submerged in a large basket filled with water, meticulously washing and sterilizing the badger hair bristles. The importance of this step in the shaving brush manufacturing process cannot be overstated, as it ensures the hair is clean and free of impurities, allowing for an optimal shaving experience. The women wear flowery aprons and tip their heads back, concentrating on the task at hand. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and dedication, as they carefully manipulate the bristles, rinsing them under the water and gently massaging them to remove any dirt or debris. The steam rises from the water, creating a soothing atmosphere. The badger hair, sourced from Europe and Asia, is a prized material for shaving brushes due to its softness and ability to retain water. The hair is dried naturally, often hung up to air-dry, before being bound together and attached to a handle, completing the shaving brush. This photograph offers a glimpse into the traditional and time-honored methods of shaving brush manufacture, a process that has remained relatively unchanged for decades. The attention to detail and care put into each step of the process, from washing and sterilizing the bristles to binding them to a handle, results in a high-quality shaving brush that continues to be cherished by men for its superior performance and ability to create a rich, creamy lather.
