Item Description
I just started using DE razors and didn't start using a badger brush till my 2nd week. I purchased the Tweezerman brush from Amazon, at about $15 I have to honestly say its a starter. It is badger hair but its definitely not what I have read badger brushes should be like. Its kind of soft but you definitely feel like your getting pricked here and there by a select few stiff hairs. It shed about 4 hairs on the first pass, two on the second and didn't shed any on the third pass. I think I got rid of all the loose hairs there were. The handle is small but its wooden so it kind of strains your hand holding your fingers so close. It worked up a decent lather so I will have to admit that I got a great shave, but that was probably the combination of using a good shaving soap and the brush. I wouldn't recommend this to any one else and would tell them to spend an extra $20-$30 and get one thats much better quality and will probably last them longer. I will use and abuse this brush then splurge for a much better quality one. I hope this helps other newbies in going for quality the first time around.
