Mondial shaving brush Boar Bristle Bleached
Hand-crafted in Florence, the bleached boar-bristle shaving brush by Mondial marries a century-old tradition with contemporary design. The handle, milled from a solid block of aluminium and then mirror-polished, strikes a perfect balance between lightness and strength, providing a secure grip even with wet hands. The large knot of select boar bristles is naturally bleached to achieve surprising softness from the very first shaves, while retaining the right rigidity to whip up lather in seconds.

Every piece is hand-assembled by Mondial’s artisans: each extra-large knot is tied and glued without omitting a single fibre, ensuring long-lasting durability and an even distribution of soap across 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 Old-World barbershop rituals.
- Milled aluminium handle: non-deformable, corrosion-resistant and easy to clean.
- Premium bleached bristle: treated to be gentler on the skin yet vigorous when building lather.
- Extra-large size: quick coverage and dense foam with fewer strokes.
- Made in Italy: every component is conceived and produced in Mondial’s Florentine workshop.
Designed for professional barbershops yet perfect for home shavers, this tool elevates the morning routine into a true ritual of elegance and well-being.
To prolong the life of your shaving brush, rinse it thoroughly after use, shake off excess water and let it dry upside down on a stand. This keeps the bristles elastic and shiny, accompanying you for years in the daily pleasure of traditional shaving.
Discover the difference of an accessory built to last: with Mondial 1908 every gesture is a tribute to Italian artisanal excellence.
The first-quality, bleached pure bristle used for this brush provides a vigorous massaging action and is lightened for extra brilliance. Its colour gives it a distinctive look in contrast with the brushed-aluminium base bearing the Antica Barberia Mondial logo as a mark of excellence. Also suitable for home use.
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 freshly boiled bristles were hand-assembled 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 Europe’s finest barbers. In the post-war era Attilio’s sons and grandsons 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 a subcontractor into a luxury maison specialising in traditional shaving, grooming and perfumery.
Innovation and tradition are in constant dialogue: the award-winning “Sphaera” set reinterprets Florentine classicism with minimal lines, while Hi-Brush synthetic fibres replicate the softness of badger while respecting animals. In 2018 the brand opened the “Gentlemen’s Barber” concept store a stone’s throw from the Ponte Vecchio, a barber lounge where bespoke shaves and men’s skincare rituals can be experienced. Every cream, soap or after-shave is enriched with fragrances inspired by Tuscan gardens and with natural ingredients from sustainable supply chains, demonstrating 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, fine metals and precious resins with the same meticulous care as in 1908. With every brush stroke, the artisan’s hand embodies a century of Italian savoir-faire, transforming daily shaving into an experience of pure sensory pleasure and timeless style.
