Zenith is a brand of shaving brushes crafted by Pennellificio Pandolfo, a renowned family-run business based in Palermo, Italy. Since its establishment in 1902, this esteemed company has been dedicated to producing high-quality brushes for various uses, including shaving, painting, and cosmetics. Each of their shaving brushes and knots is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, preserving the age-old tradition of artisanal craftsmanship.Translated from Italian on their website:"Pennellificio Pandolfo has over one hundred years of activity and is the only manufacturer of its Sicilian sector. Already in 1902, he participated in the fair in Genoa, getting a coveted award for the quality of its products. Pennellificio Pandolfo is a family business founded early in the last century to achieve the quality brushes and special characteristics that were challenging to find on the market in those days. Pennellificio Pandolfo's focus was meeting the needs of professional customers utilizing their artisan methods. Then, the company added new technologies by diversifying production, expanding the range of products, and adapting to the market's specific needs. Today, the production of Pennellificio Pandolfo includes products suitable to meet both professional and DIY needs: the various series of oval brushes, flat brushes, pencil brushes, ceilings, and other brushes for particular uses. A complete line of rollers and brushes for Fine Arts has joined it. The quality of products comes from Pennellificio Pandolfo's experience gained over time, from carefully selecting raw materials and using skilled labor."Sometime between 2008 and 2009, I found an unused brush at a thrift store. It quickly became my favorite brush, and I used it solely for 6-7 years. The logo wore off years ago, but I always remembered it was Italian-made. As I learned more about shaving brushes, I wrongfully assumed that Pennellificio Omega, the famous Italian brush manufacturer, made this brush. Fortunately, in the spring of 2015, I stumbled across some discussion posts on Zenith brushes but could not purchase one here in the States. After contacting the manufacturer, I decided to bring these special brushes to you. My original Zenith brush has given me (and is still giving me) years of pleasure. I expect this Zenith brush will do the same for you.If you are unhappy with your purchase, please contact me for a return. Unfortunately, I am unable to accept returns on used brushes.
