Shoe Polishing Brushes

Shoe Polishing Brushes are among the most essential components of one's shoe care tools. One can get by substituting an old cotton t-shirt for a dauber or chamois, but there is no substitute for a proper polishing brush. Used during polishing to buff off the excess shoe polish after it has been allowed to dry, a proper polishing brush is irreplaceable and is one of the few polishing accessories that can easily be used for decades.

The friction caused by the natural bristle moving across the surface of the shoe warms the polish, causing it to glaze and produce a soft shine. For a super high-gloss shine, a cotton chamois is required to further glaze and shine the polish. However, for most gentlemen, the soft matte shine produced by a horsehair brush is sufficient.
