Used twice before the wood cracked.
Liked the horsehair bristles - just the right amount - firm, yet soft - can't imagine boar bristles feeling good.  Storage tin is a nice addition.  Unfortunately, the wood brush handle cracked on the second use (morning after it was received) - see attached pictures.  Wasn't dropped or abused in any way.  Noticed it when I went to put it back in tin.  Will be requesting refund from Amazon.
