Item Description
This was my very first brush when I began my foray into wetshaving. I figured I'd try a cheap one, and keep it around as a backup if and when I moved up. Well, I would not recommend this, even as a back up.
My biggest problem with it: the shedding. From the very first shave it shed. In a close second is the stiffness of the (boar) bristles (but perhaps this is a little more subjective). It works well for lathering, but not the greatest on the face. Also the handle is shaped a little awkwardly, not the most ergonomic. Otherwise it does it's job. If this brush did not shed so horribly I would recommend it as a beginners brush, or a travel one you wouldn't mind losing.
Suffice it to say, spend a little more money on a badger brush, they are often sold right next to these on the drugstore shelf.
