Review (4/5): Does what it claims.
So, I've been using this brush for a good 5 months. The brush does what it claims to be able to do. The thing is, it's horse hair. This means that they will be softer than boar bristles. It's very good, and effective for short beards, or soft hair; I have VERY coarse hair. It's awesome for the mustache! If you have coarse hair, or a beard with an inch, or longer hair, this won't work for you. You can try, but don't blame the product if it doesn't work.
Breaking it down to pros and cons:
Pros:
A good distributor of beard oil.
Hairs do stay in the brush, I've had a few come out over 5 months. (8 hairs to be exact).
Very handy and portable.
A good bang for the buck.
Cons:
Not suitable for guys with long beards, even if they have soft and fine hair.
Not suitable for coarse hair.
Due to real hair, may develop a pungent smell, if used on wet hair.
Not very easy to clean.
Can't be a double purpose brush that can work with hair on head, along with facial hair.
Not very effective in removing beardruff.
