Good solid brush
As the informative email from Adam stated, there is a musky odor that it helps to lather up and leave overnight to reduce. Lather is good, bristles are good, musky odor is still there but I'm not an everyday shaver and I'm also using a shave cream that has a slight musk to it. Overall I like to brush but I'm also a fairly basic DE shaver and only into it for the last 3 years.
