 This brush is where to start August 22, 2008
I recently switched back to wet shaving after many years of an electric. I started out by buying a Gillette Fusion that came with a can of Fusion shave gel. I then decided to experiment with shave soap and brush. I bought a tube of C.O. Bigelow shave cream from Bath & Body Works, I've been lead to believe it's made by Proraso. I picked up a brush from Walmart, a boars hair brush to be specific. I used the two together a few times but can't say I was extremely impressed, mainly because of the brush. It did an OK job of spreading lather, but it felt like I was getting poked in the face by a bunch of little needles, and it took quite a bit of soap to build a good lather. I actually did like the shaving cream though so I figured I'd give it another shot and order a "good" brush. All I can say is WOW!! What a difference!! Not only does it take less soap to build a lather in the shaving bowl, the lather actually increases as you apply it. Also, using the brush now feels good on my face, especially when it's still hot. Anyway, if you're switching to wet shaving, start out by getting this brush and a good quality shave cream. By the way, the Fusion did pretty good job, cartridges for it though are pretty expensive.
 Great brush, crappy stand June 30, 2008
The brush is great; the soft badger bristles are holding out pretty well. The stand, on the other hand, is as cheap as it looks. It does, however, hold the brush upside down, which is its only purpose.
Also, bonus points for being able to reuse the plastic tube it comes in as a cover for it when traveling.
Keeps its head of hair (unlike me) May 24, 2008
I first started lathering with a brush using a cheap kit from a large discount store. It was a good experience, except for one thing. The brush from the other cheap kit shed all over me when lathering causing the razor to clog up, and getting in the way. It shed up to a dozen hairs every time I use it.
My quest started to find a good brush that was affordable and didn't shed. My search ended when I found this brush. It comes with a handy stand to keep the brush off the bristles so they can dry thoroughly between uses, and it has excellent glue that keeps the bristles in place. I haven't lost a single bristle in 1 month (the other brush was half gone by that time). I find this brush worth the premium over an inexpensive brush for this reason alone.
My only gripes about it are it smells a little like a wet dog/animal when it is wet (this might just be my sample, don't know), and it isn't all that fancy considering it is thirty bucks, plastic handle, plastic stand, and the smell. However, the function of the brush is the important part, and this does the job great. I would buy another if I lost it.
pretty good April 26, 2008
I purchased this product based off of the reviews I have read. I have never owned a brush before, so its hard to review this product without a reference point. I do know that the brush is very soft. It soaks up the water and makes a nice lather. Two or three hairs come out just about every time I use it, i hope that ends. For the price, I am going to assume the next best feeling and working brushes cost twice as much as this one, so I am going to say this was a a very good buy. For starters, this is a good brush that is cheap, and does the job very well.
Wow! and yet... April 16, 2008

This is my first badger hair brush after using a boar hair brush for a while And I really like the way it feels.
It really whips up a lather quickly. But I find the handle too short. It makes holding on a little difficult. It still gets to job done and I am really liking it. I think it will be a perfect traveling companion.
