Great brush!
I've only shaved with it once, but it's great so far. The badger musk is pretty strong out of the box, but dissipated quickly with a few soap/rinse cycles in my soap mug. I did notice a very strong glue odor the first time the bristles got wet. It also dissipated quickly and I only smelled it the first time it got wet. I didn't detect any glue smells on subsequent wet/dry cycles (while I was washing out the musk odor).<br /><br />Overall, great brush and I'm looking forward to shaving with it!
