14. Shaving Brushes


Established in 1777, G B Kent & Sons Ltd, manufacturers of brushes is one of the oldest established companies in Great Britain. Recognised by the granting of Royal Warrants for nine reigns the Kent family continued to run the company for six generations until 1932 when the last of the three Kent brothers passed away. Since that time the company has been under the creative and dynamic direction of the Cosby family.

The company headquarters moved from London to their existing factory in Apsley, Hertfordshire on the 6th February 1984, and remains there to this day. The company continues to retain the craftsmanship and unprecedented quality that is Kent's reputation. Even in today's fast moving, mass-produced assembly, Kent are proud to still be manufacturing many of their original brushes by hand.

Nevertheless, Kent Brushes is committed to developing and enhancing its products with every step they take. Kent harness the latest hi-tech manufacturing processes, whilst building on the time-honoured traditional methods to create the world's finest example of each and every brush that leaves their factory
