I got the classic silvertip with metal handle that come with the kits fendrihan sell.
The finish isn't perfect. There is a bit of rust on the collar where the badger hair come into the handle.
The badger hair are good. If I don't shake the excess water too much at the beginning, then load my soaked D.R. Harris soap for a good 15 seconds, lather will start forming in 10 seconds in a bowl.
It's faster than what I've been seeing on some youtube videos...!
If I had to purchase one of those again, separately, I would purchase one with a handle made from something else. No rust!
