Good quality shaving brush
I own three shaving brushes, none of them truly top-quality. Of the three, I like this one the most.<br /><br />The handle is wood. Although the marketing tells us the wood is "Tasmanian timber," and it may well be, it appears nondescript to me, light brown without any distinguishing features. It has a thin metal ring surrounding the hole where the bristles enter the handle. It's not a stunning handle but it's certainly nice enough. The varnish on the bottom of mine looked like it had touched something before it had dried completely, so it's rough, which is unfortunate but I can live with it.<br /><br />What I like is that the boar bristles are higher quality than those in my other two brushes. The tips are softer, and there are more bristles bound into the handle. As a result, it does a better job of making lather, and it feels softer on my face. I haven't noticed any bristles coming loose while I'm lathering my face, which is a problem with one of my other brushes.
