I have had a FS brush in my rotation for a while now. I must say, it is a fantastic brush for the money!
I picked up the finest for $20 shipped! The handle alone is worth this much (seriously, TGN sells the same handle for $20!). The quality is damn good. No flaws with the handle and the knot is glued very well, no visible glue marks.
It hasn't shed even one hair since the first test lather! It has good backbone (I got a custom set at 50mm) and the tips are really nice and soft.
It is a great lathering brush, no trouble lathering any soap (even MWF). I face lather so the lower density is something I am really enjoying as it doesn't hog the lather at all, placing it in the face where it is needed!
For the price, I think everyone should have a couple of these in rotation! I just love the way my FS brush performs! As a bonus, you even get a drip stand with every brush, these are worth like $6 on their own!!!
(for comparison, I have used: EJ BBB and Super/ TGN Super, Finest, Silvertip/ Shavemac/ Vulfix/ other custom brushes/ Omega and Semogue boars)
