Just great
Holds moisture well and also dries very quickly/easily.  Very soft and luxurious, yet firm enough to build a lather.  No unpleasant odor.  No need to presoak.  Minimal shedding.  Holds its shape when properly maintained.  Handle is high-quality metal.  I'm writing this review after using the brush for many months, and have nothing negative to say.  Highly recommended!
