Item Description
This is my second brush (cheap boar being my first).
I heard these were very floppy, so I was a little down that this was the brush that was being sent to me (free). But, it being free, I was still going to use it. I wanted to give it a good dozen or so uses before I made up my own mind.
Very nice brush. Soft and luxurious on the face. Handle is decent, but I could use a more defined groove for ease of grip. Holds water very well.
Ok, on to the floppyness.
This brush lathers very well (bowl, face, hand), and I do like the feel as I face lather it, but I just don't feel like I am really working the lather into my skin as best as I could. I think I would prefer something a little more scritchy, so that I can feel it working.
The brush does paint on lather well, but once the brush is loaded with lather, it looses its "bloom". As you paint on the lather, the brush changes from a nice bulb shape, to a flat paint brush shape, and stays that way. May just be my awesome lather though
.
All in all, it is a very capable brush. And if soft is your thing, then this is it.
I will use it for a long time to come, mainly because it was free.
Not sure if I would have purchased it, especially for its going price of $59.
Brush really sags over with a heavy load of water in it.
