Maybe don't get the metal one
I got the metal one because I thought it looked cool. And it does.<br />But I didn't have much experience with the brush and soap. In actual shaving, the cool metal handle has two problems: 1. It's a bit too heavy. Makes it clumsy to do the swift whisk motion to get the lather thick. 2. It gets HOT when you heat the soap, or use hot water, the metal conducts all of the heat. It becomes a compromise and you end up with tepid lather. I'm still using this one, but will probably order their wooden one soon.
