What makes a Hone shaving brush?

All shaving brushes eventually wear out. However, what if there was an opportunity to invest in a high-quality handle that would allow you to keep using the same brush for your entire life?

Introducing the Type B, the Hone interpretation of a shaving brush. When contemplating the creation of this brush, I was fully aware that I couldn't simply produce yet another ordinary brush, as there are already numerous well-established and exceptional options available.

My goal was to craft a brush that would perfectly complement the Type 15 and also embody my unique design philosophy. I wanted to develop a brush that was built to last, easily serviceable, and possessed its own unique character.

Moreover, I envisioned a brush that could be personalized and customized by its owner, allowing them to tailor it to their individual preferences. The end result? The Type B.

Keep your perfect brush, just change the knot

Hone + AP Shaving

I teamed up with Andrew at AP Shaving one of the best in the business to provide a complimentary range of knots to get new users and connoisseurs started with a great selection of brush types to choose from when you order your Type B.

Make the Type B yours

The Type B shaving brush is compatible with any Ø24mm brush knot, giving you the freedom to choose between synthetic or natural options. While it comes equipped with a premium synthetic knot by default, it can be effortlessly swapped out using a unique and secure design. The knot is held in place so securely that it feels as if it's bonded. Releasing the knot requires just a 5mm allen key and minimal effort.

Uniquely yours - individually numbered

Designed for longevity

The Type B shaving brush is crafted for an extended lifespan, with the main components constructed from stainless steel. The philosophy behind this design is rooted in the belief that investing in a brush capable of lasting for decades is a worthwhile investment.

To ensure long-term usability, the brush can be fully disassembled, and Hone guarantees the availability of spare parts for all our products. In the unlikely event that your brush requires repair, rest assured that you can easily obtain the necessary parts to restore it to its former glory.

When the brush knot eventually wears out, there's no need to replace the entire brush or undergo complex drilling and bonding processes. Instead, a simple solution awaits: effortlessly swap out the worn knot for a new one of your choosing. This flexibility empowers you to tailor the brush to your preferences, allowing for a personalized shaving experience that evolves with your needs.

How to install a new brush head in your Type B

Ensure the clamping mechanism is loose before trying to replace the knot. Select a new 24mm knot.

Use a 5mm allen key to lock the knot into the handle. Take care not to over tighten the brush. You only need to gently tighten the mechanism for a very firm hold. Try to tighten it the least amount required for a secure hold.

Centre the replacement knot into the handle. Make sure to align the knot with respect to the handle.

Enjoy your personalised Type B brush, you can experiment with different knot types and shapes to find your perfect combination. Removal is the reverse of installation.
