The brush that started it all, and a special piece in The Varlet’s line-up as it draws inspiration from our armed forces and servicemembers past and present. With an ergonomic 55mm tall handle which is ideal for building lather directly on the face or in a shaving bowl or mug, the Ranger could quite possibly be your one-brush brush collection.

Cauldron™
The Cauldron™ is one of The Varlet’s newest additions to the line-up. While the brush design is simple at first glance, it draws inspiration from traditional shaving brush history, brutalist architecture, and modern pottery, and combines The Varlet’s design touch to create a concise and hefty handle which feels secure to hold. With a long and technical conical base, the challenge lies within the craftsman’s steady hand and eye. Featuring an interpretation of the historic ‘lather catcher’ design for the top of the handle, the Cauldron features a refreshing take on this iconic form.
