What shaving brushes in indian barbershops ?

[exocet]

Hi guys,
I made sone researches but I cannot find what type of shaving brush do india barbers use.
It seems to be very floppy brushes (synthetic, goat hair, human hair ???)
I also cannot find any website that sell those kind of brushes.
Do you have any idea ?

see an example here :

Indian horsehair?

Certainly is a very high loft and could be any of the usual hair materials. Difficult to tell from the video. Vie-Long do the 04312 Cachurro horse hair professional shaving brush with higher loft.

They mostly use horse hair brushes here. Badger is banned. Boar hair brushes are available online but I have yet to see any in a salon or a supply store

Horsehair or synthetic, I believe. The floppy knot does not matter too much with this barber, he pinches the knot to control it. The tall loft allows the brush to hold more lather.

I don't think it's a synthetic. It's either a really really well broken in boar or a horse. I'm leaning towards a horse because really it's true that they perform great at face lathering despite being extremely soft.

Looks like a tube of Faulding, which I think has now changed its name to Sanofi.

Interesting I was wanting to see the razor.

That’s more relaxing than watching the bird feeders my wife puts on the TV lol. Interesting much of that first pass would be ATG on my face.

Thanks.
That YouTube impressed me.
When I first saw it, I wondered if the brush or the cream
was an important part of the barber's technique.
After experimenting, I concluded that the type of brush and cream
didn't really matter that much.

I prefer to shave with more time consuming bowl soap lathering methods when I can.
Consequently, I use cream the least often, and yet more consequently
I'm less picky about creams than soaps.

Faulding was the first cream I used when I started shaving as a teenager. It was a standard supermarket brand back then. In hindsight, knowing what I knew then, I couldn't tell you is it was good or bad. It was cheap and readily available.
