I wanted to love this brush...and with patience my expectations were met
I was attracted by size and shape of this brush and was impressed by the multitude of reviews praising its attributes. The confirmation and physical performance of this brush met expectations. After using this brush regularly for the last few months I have to say I'm quite disappointed.  A limited amount of shedding can be expected for any brush especially during a break in period, but this brush continues to lose hair with regularity unlike any other shave brush I own. Hardly a shave goes by where I'm not picking at least 2 or 3 loose hairs out of my soap container or lather bowl.  This has become so frustrating I am retiring this brush from regular use. Needless to say I am sadly disappointed and had higher expectations for this product.<br /><br />Update: I've been contacted by Adam, the distributor of this brush.  He has assured my experience with this brush is the rare exception and is sending a replacement to prove this point.  I will use the replacement for a reasonable period and update this posting if I experience an improvement.  I must say that I am impressed by his attentiveness to correct the problem and his resolve to stand behind his product.  I've bumped up my review by a star to reflect the level of customer service and the distributor's commitment to his product.<br /><br />Update #2 - I quickly received the promised replacement and have been using it regularly for the last three weeks.  I am happy to report that other than a few hairs coming loose the first few shaves - which is common as a brush is first broken in - the brush has been performing admirably.  I can honestly say the loss of hair is not an issue with this second brush, and must attribute the problem with the first brush as an exception to the norm. I am happy to be among the many that can now issue a favorable report on this brush and in turn I have bumped up my rating with an additional star. Kudos to a distributor who cares enough about his product to contact his customers and go the extra mile to address a problem in a world where most are happy to take the money and run.
