Executive Shaving's video: Why We Stopped Buying Badger Hair Shaving Brushes Executive Shaving Company Statement

Wild animals kept in confinement often suffer from captivity-induced psychosis and gaping, untreated wounds. One badger was found to be missing a leg. At the slaughterhouse, a worker beat crying badgers over the head with a chair leg, and then slit their throats. One badger was still convulsing after his throat was cut. After PETA shared the video footage with Procter & Gamble—which owns The Art of Shaving—Morphe, NARS, The New York Shaving Company, and several others, these companies made the decision to ban badger hair brushes. I understand that GB Kent a leading UK retailer of shaving brushes has also stopped buying in badger hair brushes. The Executive Shaving Company has been told for many years by the Chinese manufactures of badger hair shaving brushes that the badgers were bred in captivity for their meat and the coat of the animal was a waste by-product of the meat. The PETA investigation has proved beyond a doubt that this is not the case. A quick search on the internet for the search term ‘badger killing for shaving brushes’ will reveal various horrific videos showing the appalling way these animals are bred and killed. For the past five years The Executive Shaving Company has actively promoted synthetic fibre shaving brushes and as a result, sales on our website for synthetic fibre brushes are significantly higher than badger hair brushes. This blog post from October 2015 being a case in point.
