Talk:Shaving brush

[Untitled]

This page is missing some important facts about badger hair, detailed at http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showpost.php?p=8469&postcount=5

I think some of the additional detail should be integrated into the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamfield (talk • contribs) 18:45, 12 September 2006

Article NPOV, advertisement for lifestyle choice

This article is a direct re-edit from a 'classic lifestyle' sales website devoted to wet shaving. There's a link to the website down at the bottom of the article embedded along with a few other links. My NPOV criticism here is regarding the anti-synthetic/boar opinion, which is unsubstantiated, and like the rest of the article, without references or sources. In addition, there is nothing here regarding the sourcing of badger hair. I find this ironic, because the article goes on at length over the various properties and grades of badger hair, yet fails to mention how the animals are hunted, farmed, and/or killed and whether or not there are any environmental issues to consider. All of these failings add up to an article that violates all of wikipedia's stated guidelines for content (verification, neutral point of view, no original research). I would support the correction of these flaws if anyone has the time and inclination to do the work. Strike71 18:52, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

• The only real issue Strike brings up, IMO, is that we need references here. I've added some information on the source of badger hair, as well as some references, after having done extensive research of, and correspondence with, brush makers/hair suppliers in China. Besides which, anyone who has investigated the world of straight razor shaving knows that badger hair is king. Also, it's only recently that any synthetic-bristle shaving brushes became available in the U.S. market at all. That's a very recent innovation and not likely to to thrive -- and before anyone cries 'POV,' this is the talk page. Also, I don't care whether someone thinks there should be mention of environmental issues with badger hair brushes. I can't imagine what such an issue would be, but if someone finds there is one and they can source it, go ahead and put it the article. As for the tone of the article, it accurately reflects everything I've seen published about shaving brushes, as well as my personal experience shaving with both bristle and badger-hair brushes. It may seem POV, but the POV is supported by plenty of industry literature and published user comment. --Preston McConkie ^{(talk • contribs)} 06:30, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

External Links

I've left one of the links, the rest weren't to anything specific to shave brushes. I'm very tempted to remove the last one as it is a link to a page of a vendor or (among other things) shave brushes, and something more neutral would be better. --Lijnema 08:50, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Shave brush → Shaving brush – Personally I've never seen or heard the term "shave brush" used outside of Wikipedia; the universally accepted name is "shaving brush". A Google Trends search shows "shaving brush" has been the more popular search term since 2004 and on average is 3x more popular. I also tried a Google Ngram Viewer search but "shave brush" isn't even a recognised search term. The "shaving" prefix is also more commonly used with other shaving-related equipment and cosmetics, such as shaving cream, shaving soap, shaving mug, shaving scuttle... --Veikk0.ma 10:50, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
