My first shave with this little brush.
Dimensions...knot 22 mm, loft 52 mm.
The handle is a sort of yellow plastic. Probably moulded but there's no mould marks present on mine. Colour wise it reminds me of 'Old Yeller' type pocket knives so I like it. The handle is a bit small right enough but it still works for me.
It's an earlier generation fibre, densely packed with a high loft so it has a lot of backbone. It's stiff. It is a proper scrubber but it has soft tips. Not the softest compared to others like EJ/Muhle or Simpson but soft enough to be comfortable when face lathering. Did I mention it was a scrubber? Ya can really hear it on the facial hair. I found circular motions and paint strokes work well although it's not a splay queen by any stretch.
Do I like it? I'm delighted. It's a great wee brush. Synthetics all have their different characteristics and this one is unlike any other synthetic I own. It's a scrubby wee scrubber and no mistake. Don't let the earlier gen fibres put you off trying one. Cost to me in the UK was £13 posted. Bargain. It will sit right next to my £90 Chubby 1 and be used just as often.
Did I say it was a scrubber? Wait till ya hear it in action.
