I bought this brush in Morrisons on a whim to see how a brush that might be the first one someone interested in wetshaving might buy will perform.
I shaved with this brush all of last week and it does deliver soap or cream to the face, but it was quite disappointing. The hairs shed prodigiously and splayed out so much that I had to work hard to get an adequate amount of lather where I wanted it (I like working it onto my skin in small circles. Perhaps painting it on would be more effective.)
For a few pounds more one can buy far better brushes, and for much the same price Bestshaves No.6 is in reach - again providing a better experience.
I wonder how many curious men have been put off trying wetshaving by using this easily available but poor brush?
