I purchased this brush thinking I'd get something like a Pro 49 with chrome (we Americans, especially of a certain age, love chrome), but after breaking in, I find that I have something a little different.
This brush has a ton of backbone! It's mostly broken in, has good flow through, and the bristles are nicely split and very soft. But unlike my 48 and 49, it has more backbone than any brush that size has a right to have. After using several soaps and creams, I've decided I like it very much. The softness and backbone make it a great universal brush. the fact that it looks like a '56 Mercury just adds to its charm.
$13 well spent. Recommended.
