I picked one up last week for £2.99 .I was not convinced at first after a few of the bristles came away after 2 shaves . I seems to have settled down now and ceased shedding ,a good pre shave soak in my mug did the trick .
I bought a bowl of Erasmic soap too for £1.99 at the same time , I must say it gives an impressive lather and a cracking scent too .Great shaving for under a fiver .
