The magnified images below (1200 – 3000x magnification) taken by Southampton University, Bio Medical Department feature badger bristles on the left and Premier synthetic on the right. Badger bristles are very much like human hair in that they have scales making for a rough surface, they tend to be damaged and often hollow.
This means that approximately 50% of shave crème being used penetrates and coats the bristles never to make it to the area to be shaved and not all is rinsed out after use. Hence the reason why these bristles suffer from product build up over time and need to be cleaned out as well as using approximately twice the amount of shave creme!
The synthetic bristles are non-absorbent, so they need less shave crème and create a richer lather.
Add a little more water to the bristles after shaving and you will probably have enough lather for a second, closer shave.
Easier to clean the bristles and keep them clean.
Using the stand helps promote the longevity of the bristles and is best hygienically.
