Anyone know? I assume they brand someone elses brush and mark up the price. But who's brush are they branding?
Who manufactures eShave brushes?

I think they're inexpensive Chinese brushes.
Welcome to B&B.
IMO their products are just money trap. If you want to obtain a good quality brush you should check European companies which make brushes and so many shaving products.

Their creams are otherworldly.
In a good way or a bad way?
Their creams and their soaps are quite good. In my experience they are among the best I've used. The lavender is especially nice. I also own one of their badger brushes. It was relatively inexpensive however I've used it for several years and it has given me good service with no shedding. It is a little "floppy" but very nice just the same.
Very very good. I think they're made by the same outfit that produces AoS creams (not Creightons) and perform similarly. White Tea =
ps I have no idea who makes the brushes - they do look quite well made though. The handles aren't my thing at all, but they look like quality western brushes rather than Chinese knock offs. May be wrong on that though.

Hi, eshave shaving brushes are made in our office in NYC. We source our materials all over the world and we assemble by hand our brushes as well as razors. I invite you to come visit us in LIC next time you are in town and observe the process. They had made by hand by our artisans, one brush at the time using a process we developped to insure they will not come apart. As for our shaving creams, they are not made by Creighton which by the way does not exist anymore. We developped the formula with a chemist in the UK and created a lathering shaving cream with no paraben, no SLS or SLES using only high quality ingredients as we are constantly looking to improve the quality of the products we offer. Call me anytime you want to know more- Danielle
Thanks so much for adding to this discussion and setting the record straight. I have wondered about the origin of your brushes recently as I admired those beautiful handles. Two year member and your first post, welcome!
Danielle, thanks for the info. As stated earlier I found the brush to be of excellent quality and I love the soaps and creams. I actually find the lavender cream to be a bit too strong smelling at first. The soap has such a soft lavender scent, very, very nice. Thanks for producing such a great product
Thanks for the info. danielle.

Danielle, I have had trouble locating an ingrediants list for your hard soaps, the Mandarin and Avocado & Linden soaps I have are some of my absolute favorites and I am curious about thier contents.
Thank you John.
Hi Danielle and welcome to the board.
Your comments are very reassuring. I have looked at your creams before and wondered. Must give them a try.
One of my first brushes was an eShave. I bought it in 2005 and recently PIFed it to a deployed service member who was looking to try wetshaving.
I found it to be a very nice brush, though as I got more into the shaving, I decided it was a bit too floppy for my tastes. Performance wise, though, it was a great first piece. In nearly 5 years of use, I don't think it shed more than a few hairs, and it looked just as good when I sent it off as it did the day I received it.
Overall, I give them a nod of approval!!
PS - Thanks, Danielle, for the great insight into your product line!

Mine performs on par with the 99 cent Lijun 1980 turnback I have - The badger-funk iis still intense after many uses and several attempts to de-funk it.
In fact - it's soaking in Dawn right now - I used it yesterday after reading this thread and this morning my bathroom smelled like a wet badger.

Probably depends on what the definition of "made" and "assemble". Does this mean that the hair for the knots is sorted and tied by hand in US or that just the handles are made here, and then a "sourced" knot is simply glued to the handle?
I love the idea of White Tea or Cucumber shaving cream...
but can't (or won't) deal with their policy of paying for a book of samples
when I'm at the store... if i remember correctly it was $17.
happy to pay for shipping for a sample, but not for a thumbnail of creme on a product I don't know anything about.....

Head over to the Rockefeller eshave location and ask them for a sample. I asked for one and I got it for free
I wrote them a nice letter when I was starting out and they graciously sent me a few different samples by mail free of charge.

I asked the question about brush manufacture because I have had an eShave brush for some 8 or 9 years now. I started wet shaving in the early 00's, still using a cartridge razor. The eShave products led me into the world of wet shaving, and I have enjoyed them thoroughly. Amazingly, I did not develop an acquisition disorder until now, when I starting using a DE razor. I think exposure to these forums ignited my AD, and I have been researching and accumulating new brushes. There is so much information available about so many different brushes, and it is nice to know where your special implements came from. Thanks for illuminating, Danielle.
Incidentally, I have the long handle brush in finest. I'd say the brush is perfect for creams, but I can whip up a mean lather from my soaps (MWF, Provence Sante) without difficulty. The long handle is ideal for bowl lathering. I find the brush a little too soft for face lathering. Over the years of use, it has lost less than 5-10 hairs.
By the way, I believe Danielle has done much to elevate the popularity of wet shaving in the community at large. I know the attention her products received in the mainstream media is what led me to start wet shaving. From her eShave website: http://www.eshave.com/about-us
Again, thanks Danielle.
