In April 2007, I bought two of these brushes; one for home, one for my frequent travels.
Vulfix have a reputation for being "floppy", but that didn't deter me; on the contrary, I find these brushes extremely comfortable and they lather well, no matter whether I use hard soap or creams.
Still after only four months, I had to retire and return both.
While Vulfix had an excellent reputation in the past, there seem to be some serious quality issues with Vulfix brushes nowadays and both my brushes loose in excess of 5 hairs (on a bad day in excess of 10) per shave.
By contrast, my old Jagger brushes perform still reasonably well after 8 years and I had expected a similar lifespan for the Vulfix brushes, which are kept upside down in a stand and are carefully looked after.
As I bought both brushes together, it could be argued that they both came from a bad batch, but similar comments on the Forum suggest a mode wideranging problem.
So in the end these brushes have tremendous potential, but unless current quality control issues are properly adressed by the manufacturer they are unsuitable.
