Mondial shaving brush Bleached Boar with Satin-Finish Aluminium Handle

Hand-crafted in Florence, the bleached-bristle shaving brush from Mondial blends a century-old tradition with contemporary design. The handle, milled from a solid block of aluminium and polished to a mirror sheen, strikes the perfect balance between lightness and solidity, ensuring a secure grip even with wet hands. The generous knot of selected boar bristles is naturally bleached to achieve remarkable softness from the very first shaves, while retaining the firmness needed to whip up lather in seconds.

Every brush is assembled by hand by Mondial artisans: each extra-large knot is bound and glued fibre by fibre to guarantee long-lasting durability and an even distribution of soap on the face. Thanks to its generous diameter and fan shape, the shaving brush gently massages the skin, lifting the beard and preparing it for the razor with a sensory pleasure reminiscent of the rituals of the Old-World barbershop.

• Milled aluminium handle: non-deformable, corrosion-resistant and easy to clean.
• Premium bleached bristle: treated to be gentler on the skin yet vigorous in building lather.
• Extra-large format: fast coverage and dense foam with fewer strokes.
• Made in Italy: every component is conceived and crafted in Mondial’s Florentine workshop.

Designed for professional barbershops yet ideal for home shavers, this tool elevates the morning routine to a true rite of elegance and well-being.

To prolong the life of your shaving brush, rinse it thoroughly after use, shake out excess water and let it dry bristles-down on a stand. This keeps the fibres elastic and lustrous, accompanying you for years of traditional-shaving pleasure.

Discover the difference of an accessory built to last: with Mondial 1908, every gesture becomes a tribute to Italian artisanal excellence.

The top-grade bleached bristle used in this brush provides a firm massaging action and is lightened for extra brilliance. Its colour creates a striking contrast with the brushed-aluminium base, which bears the Antica Barberia Mondial logo as a mark of distinction. Equally suited to home users.

Mondial 1908 — Art Made in Italy
Founded in Florence in 1908 by master brush-maker Attilio Bagnoli, Mondial began in a small workshop in the Galluzzo district, where the freshly boiled bristles were assembled by hand, one by one. In more than a century of history, that artisanal gesture has never been lost: even today, every Mondial shaving brush is finished by hand, following a ritual handed down through five generations.

In the 1930s the factory moved inside the city walls, the workforce grew, and the family expanded production for the finest barbers in Europe. After the Second World War, Attilio’s children and grandchildren introduced safety razors, olive-wood bowls and travel sets, carrying the Mondial name in the suitcases of Italian gentlemen. The turning point came in 2000, when the fourth generation took over the brand and launched the Mondial 1908 collection, transforming the company from subcontractor to luxury maison specialising in traditional shaving, grooming and perfumery.

Innovation and tradition are in constant dialogue: the multi-award-winning “Sphaera” set reinterprets Florentine classicism with minimalist lines, while Hi-Brush synthetic fibres replicate badger softness while respecting animal welfare. In 2018 the brand opened the “Gentlemen’s Barber” concept store just steps from the Ponte Vecchio—a salon-lounge where customers enjoy bespoke shaves and men’s skincare rituals. Every cream, soap and aftershave is enriched with fragrances inspired by Tuscan gardens and with natural ingredients from sustainable supply chains, reflecting the brand’s commitment to responsible luxury.

Today, on its 115th anniversary, Mondial exports to more than sixty countries yet continues to produce in Florence, selecting seasoned woods, precious metals and fine resins with the same meticulousness shown in 1908. With every brushstroke, the artisan’s hand distils a century of Italian savoir-faire, transforming the daily shave into an experience of pure sensory pleasure and timeless style.
