This is the first brush I had ever purchased. I'm not sure who actually manufactures the brush, but it carries the Col. Conk brand. Price- At about $50, I'd say this is a decent middle of the road brush.

Only complaint has been with packaging. The blue bottle is a soft plastic, aesthetically pleasing, but the first bottle I recieved through the mail had ruptured, and a small amount had spilled out. The bottle/cap seal is no longer airtight, and can be a little messy. The company I ordered from...
