Great brush, heavy handle.
Right out of the gate you know you have a great brush. The bristles are quite stiff and generate a fine later quickly with very little soap. The bristles hold up under the hottest water never and "go limp".<br /><br />The handle is flawless chrome plated metal. Not certain, but its heavy, like brass or steel. By heavy I mean that if you drop it on your toe, it will break your toe. I'm kind of afraid that it will break my shaving mug if I'm not careful.<br /><br />I took away one star because it is quite slick when wet and the hefty weight makes it feel unbalanced and awkward in your hand, but its not a deal breaker. I use it every time I wet shave and it works well.<br /><br />If I had a do-over I would look to the same brand, but with a traditional wooden or composite handle. I would only recommend the chrome to someone who demanded it for aesthetic purposes, it is quite beautiful and well made.
