Anyone else use or know these?

I've been meaning to create a thread about some really cheap synthetic brushes that I found and bought. I like the color scheme and the really large size. They're made by a company called Ameca from France. I paid the equivalent of about 2.5 USD for each.They make a ton of lather and are ideal for hard soaps due to their stiffness, backbone and thickness of the bristles. The only things I don't like are :
-the bristles are very coarse and so I can't make swirls on my face but instead "paint" the lather on. These don't break in.
-the handles are light hollow plastic.

What do you think? Do you know more about these or saw something similar?

Ive not seen that before.
Is it uncomfortable to use?

Looks more like it would be used by barbers to brush hair off your neck.

Very interesting. I love cheap brushes. The bristles look cool to me with the blue. I may be the only one who appreciates these cheap brushes of interest.

The bristles are coarse so it's not very pleasant if if do swirls but if I "paint" the lather I don't contact the tips of the bristles too much.
@Toothpick they're designed specifically as shaving brushes as there were instructions how to use them on soaps to create lather for shaving.

They look cool!

But as a face latherer, I'd say they don't seem to be for me

+1! Interesting brushes that are new to me!

Seem to look and feel like the old (1960's) Nylon brush from my youth.

Been a while since I scratched my face with that one.
