High Quality, High Maintenance Shaving Brush that helps you get a great shave.
This shaving brush is nice and soft and feels good on the skin. The handle design fits nicely in my hand while using it. The first time i used it 4 hairs just fell out which surprised me. It turns out I was using it wrong. You have to learn how to properly use one of these if you want it to last a long time. My first mistake was using hot water. Hot water loosens the bond the hairs have to the handle and if you let the hot water get to the handle, the hairs will start falling out rather quickly. So now I use room temperature water or a little bit warmer during use. I haven't had any hairs come out since. My next mistake happened when soaping the brush and creating the lather. You have to wrap your hand around the hairs close to the base with your thumb and forefinger for support. If you dont then the hairs will fray outwards and possibly fall out or become damaged forever. Also you can't push too hard. You only need the tip of the brush to make contact with the soap when creating the lather, you dont need to use all the hairs by pushing harder. If you do your best to protect and support the bristles then you will extend the life of the brush. When you are finished with the brush and have rinsed it out you need to get some of the water out so you need to shake the water out. Supporting the bristles again is very important here. Another thing I learned is that no matter how careful you are using it, the bristles still want to fray out after you're done using it. I found that re-using the mesh that the brush comes wrapped in helps keep the brush from fraying. I will include a picture of it. It may be a high maintenance brush but it Gives you a high quality shave and if you take care of it it should work for a long time.
