Review (5/5): Big Full Brush at a Fair Price
I have been using a shaving brush for a little over five years now. The first brush I purchased was in a starter pack from the art of shaving. This summer I decided that I needed to upgrade my brush. The Beau Brummell was on sale so I decided to give it a try.
My first impression was that the brush was much bigger than the my original brush (see pictures below) with a much fuller brush. The bristles feel about the same... it's soft with stiffish bristles. I've never liked the brushes where you more or less paint on your soap... this brush has stiffer bristles that really let you work the soap into a lather on your face. The bigger handle provides for an easy grip and the material feel solid. I purchased a brush holder a long time ago and found that my previous brush didn't fit. I never sent it back and pulled it out and this brush fit like a charm.
I've used it for about a week now and haven't had any problems with hairs falling out etc. (well, no more than usual... it's pretty normal to lose a hair or two every so often). It rinses well and is overall very nice!
Pros
+ Big Full Brush
+ Stiff Bristles that still feel Soft
+ Large handle that fits in your hand as well as many after market brush holders
+ Easy to rinse and dries quickly
Cons
- The brush is almost too big. It's possible that I only feel this way because it is HUGE compared to what I have been using and it seems like I almost get too much soap on the brush when I use it... I may change my mind once I use it longer... time will tell.
Overall this is a great brush at a fair price. It would be nice to see this sold with some kind of cup or container for the soap but otherwise this is a great replacement or starter brush!
Please note that I did receive a discount on this product in exchange for my honest review.
