Approximate specifications of the Trafalgar T3:Total brush height – 100mmHandle height – 50mmKnot – 50mmKnot diameter – 26mm Use and care advice: When shaving, try to use back and forth movements with the brush to create lather rather than circular 'mashing' motions which tend to put extra pressure and strain on the hairs. Excessive force may break or dislodge the hairs from their adhesive bond. Never leave your brush soaking in water that is hotter than your skin can tolerate.Ensure the badger knot is completely rinsed of ALL soap or cream residue after shaving - Use clean, warm water and gently squeeze the base of the knot to determine if all residue is gone (this will prevent mold build-up).Gently shake the brush and lightly rub the bristles against a very soft towel to remove any excess moisture from the knot.Let sit or hang (either works fine) in a well-ventilated area, preferably very close to an open window. Insufficient drying time between shaves will result in deep mold in the knot and eventual hair loss.Try alternating between two brushes if possible to allow a 48 hour drying period.Shampoo your brush with a normal hair product every month or so to keep it clean and nice.
