Item Description
This is my first review and nobody has reviewed this brush, so here goes:
Price:A bit on the high side compared with other brushes from the likes of Rooney and Savile Row. In the US it's listed on the C&E website for $85 but here in Canada it sells for $139, quite a mark up. I was lucky enough to get it from a fellow B&B member for a great price, half the price of it here in Canada.
Quality:So far so good. Haven't lost any hairs and it has bloomed nicely. This is a quality brush on par with the C&E BBB, as expected from Edwin Jagger. The hair is much softer than the C&E BBB and slightly stiffer then my Kent BK4. As for density it's packed very well. The tips are a tiny bit prickly but still soft and not nearly as floppy as my BK4.
Ergonomics:This brush has a large chunky handle and I love it. It doesn't feel dainty in my hands like the C&E BBB. It is a hefty brush with a nice solid feel.
Latherability:I've used this brush with both soaps and creams and have had excellent results. Enough lather to last 5 or more passes.
Overall:I would say this is a good quality brush that should last many years (YMMV.) I would highly recommend this brush if it wasn't for the price, $85US is a tad steep. If you can find it on sale or get it used from another B&B member I'd say go for it.
