When Ali Express had its recently sales promo, I thought I would have a hunt around for alternatives to Virginia Shaving and YaQi. Eventually I found this store: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1398298 . Confusingly some brushes are listed in the logical place i.e. Brushes, but some more are categorised as 'Other'.
In the end I bought this brush: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...480.html?spm=2114.12010614.0.0.4cf2100dGo4TMp
It cost me c£12 including postage
Initial thoughts are it's nice well made brush. Dimensions are:
The know is a very dark brown colour over cream and is described as 'Black Badger'. It's colour closely resembles the latest Body Shop brush with the dark handle, but it is definitely softer. Not as soft as a Plissoft however. First impressions on the face are that there is more scratch and slightly more backbone, but certainly nothing too extreme. It feels similar to recent 'Black Fibre' brushes, but this will come out as and when I test it over the next week or so. Maybe it will even soften up like the Razorock 400 black fibre did? Watch this space.
