I also have the little Cremo horsey and like it, mine did turn the lather brown and stink for a bit. Now I want a Zenith too!I have a little Cremo horse hair that I got last Christmas as part of a Cremo gift pack, and I really like it. I've never had a problem with tangling, nor did it stink out of the box. Now, having seen that American style brush, I want one
Thanks Jim, great write up.
