High-density badger · SHD
A handmade badger knot with a full, dense feel.
The feel
Pioniere uses hair selected from the badger’s back, with a dense arrangement and a silk-like feel described in the technical specification.
I would consider it if you enjoy a full badger brush. We will confirm the shape, diameter and fitted loft for your piece.

These are reference options, rather than a stock list. Your brush page states the knot fitted; for a bespoke piece, we agree the version, diameter and exposed loft together.
Construction & technical details
The SHD specification is described as 10–15% denser than the producer’s standard density. Processing is intended to retain the hair’s natural oils.
The documented Bulb model has a listed total height of 65 mm. Custom sizing is mentioned, but a separate Fan specification is not provided.
The technical description also notes suitability for shaving soaps and creams, with easy rinsing.
Total knot height and fitted loft are different measurements. The fitted loft is the length exposed above the handle.
Your Talarico brush
The recommended knot is included in the listed price of each catalogue brush. We can discuss other knots or settings before you order.
I make complete shaving brushes; handles and loose knots are not sold separately.
Care after use
Rinse thoroughly, gently shake out excess water and allow the brush to dry in a ventilated place. Let the tips do the work rather than pressing the knot flat.
