Looks fancy, quality product
I ordered this for my husband to go along with some shaving cream. I was asked to provide a review and I'm happy to provide my own opinion. First, this product arrives looking FANCY.  It arrives in a black box that is similar to that a woman would get jewelry. The brush itself is high quality. The badger hair is supposed to be excellent for a shave brush because of how it naturally fans out, and it holds the water well to whip up the shave cream. We don't have a brush holder yet for after but my husband stores it on its side to allow the excess water to drain. The company sent an email after I ordered this notifying that this will have a musk smell, as it is made from badger hair. Upon opening the box, there was a slight musk smell, but it was faint and not offensive. However, after getting the brush wet the smell intensified. After shaving there was a faint musk smell that lingered for a little while on my husband's face, but again, not offensive. Lather whip does send information on how to lessen the musk smell, as well as soften the badger hair, and my husband will be taking the simple steps to do so. It would have been nice to have had the additional information with the brush instead of an email, but that is a preference of instructions, not a reflection of the quality of the shave brush. If ordering this as a gift, it would be awkward to send this in an email (for me).  Overall my husband has been enjoying using the brush to shave and he would recommend this to his friends.
