A nice brush that is easy to use
This seems like a good brush.<br /><br />I have a much more expensive silvertip brush, which is made from a different part of the badger. There isn't as much of it, so the cost is considerably higher.<br /><br />This one is a smaller brush, and stiffer, which is expected from a standard badger hair brush. This makes it easier for people new to this type of shaving because it is less delicate and easier to get a good lather going. It is rougher against the skin than the silvertip, however.<br /><br />The handle feels nice in the hand and is surprisingly heavy. I wonder if there might be some metal in there weighing it down. Regardless, it is well-balanced.<br /><br />I can't speak to the longevity of the brush, having had it only a few days, but so far it seems to be doing fine.<br /><br />If you are new to using a shaving brush, my advice is to start with a standard badger hair brush, either this one or a different one. After you are more used to it, go for the silvertip.<br /><br />Sean Logue, 2016
