Does the job, and does it well.
Some bristles fell out when it first arrived (a day before the intitial delivery estimate began. Bravo). I read some reviews saying to leave it to air dry for a day before use. So I rinsed it up to get anymore loose hairs out and left it to dry. Love that it doesn't smell like wet dog (boar bristle brushes tend to, this one just spells like glue when it first arrives) and it feels nice going through my beard.  Not too hard like some boar brushes but not too soft that it doesn't reach the roots. Only wish the bristles weren't as dense. Although it does reach the roots somewhat, it pushes around my beard more than combs through it. A little pricey, but hey, it's real horse hair.
