So far, I LOVE it!
I had another brush (Van Der Hagen's) that I liked well enough until the bristles started coming out after less than a year. However, I didn't realize how much better a brush could be until I got this one. Although it is smaller than my previous one, it creates a thick, luscious lather easy peasy. It barely fits in the Perfecto Deluxe Razor holder but it *does* fit so I'm fine with it. And, as a bald-by-choice guy, I shave a LOT of real estate ; )<br /><br />I should also say that the customer service follow-up was outstanding. I got two emails giving me tips on using and storing the brush. They clearly take pride in their product.<br /><br />I'll check back in a year to verify that the bristles are still holding tight.<br /><br />UPDATE (1/20/2018): So, it's over two years later and this brush is still going strong. Loses a few hairs during use but that's normal. I'm pretty careful about fully rinsing it each time, drying it off thoroughly, and hanging it back on its stand. With this sort of care, this brush is still going strong.
