A very good brush at any price.
I bought this as a replacement for a considerably more expensive badger brush I'd owned for three months that was constantly shedding hairs despite meticulous care.  This brush is very well made and has only shed a few hairs (which is to be expected).  It has great water-holding quality and the bristles are the proper stiffness for whipping up good lather while still be being soft against your face. I expect that with proper care it will last for years to come. If I had any &#34;complaint&#34;, it's with the somewhat wider than normal brush handle that required me to purchase a new brush stand to accommodate, but that's a minor issue. I'm still amazed at the reasonable price for a brush of this quality.
