Why badger hair 

There are shaving brushes made with pig bristles and badger hair. However, pig bristles are very stiff and you scratch more in the soap instead of lathering. Badger hair is soft and produces a fine lather. The hair structure is ideal—it remains remains stable even when wet, retains its shape, and does not stick together.

Proper care of a shaving brush is simple:

rinse thoroughly under warm, running water after each use to remove all to remove soap residue. Shake out the water remaining in the hair and then store the shaving brush store it hanging so that residual moisture does not collect at the base of the hair and which can cause mildew and mold to form. If the shaving brush handle is heavily covered with soap residue be covered with residue, it may be placed in a warm water bath together with a few drops of mild dish soap or bathe it in mild shampoo; the residue can be then remove thoroughly. Never use vinegar or other harsh Cleaning products!
